Girl Scouts uniquely ME! Guide for Facilitators

After facilitating the uniquely ME! Leadership Institute in Atlanta this summer, I had the honor of co-creating with Girl Scouts USA the uniquely ME! program Guide for Facilitators. I wrote the program for high school girls.

Girl Scouts of the USA and the Dove® Self-Esteem Fund collaborated to create uniquely ME!, a program designed to foster self-esteem in girls ages 8-17. The Guide has been created for volunteers and staff in a variety of settings as well as school personnel and other adults interested in facilitating uniquely ME! sessions.

The high school program includes four workshop sessions:
the real you
mind over media
dare to shine
my relationships, myself

You can download the sessions for FREE and use them to lead a program for any teen girls by going to the uniquely ME! web site and clicking the above icon.
