 A circle is a place to have fun while learning to explore and understand yourself and others. A circle is a safe place to talk about things that you are thinking about in your own life. A circle is a place for you to listen to others speak about things going on in their life. You will learn about confidentiality and how this contributes to making the circle a safe place for this kind of sharing. The circle is a place where the skills of listening, witnessing, sharing and supporting each other are modeled and taught.

Two women Mentors are trained to guide your circle which will last 2 hours and be held every other week. The Mentors are trained to create the context for the circles but you and the other girls in the circle can determine what you would like to do in the circle. What topics are of interest? What activities do you want to do together?
  
"I have learned more about who I am and who I want to be."
"A circle is a wonderful environment to talk and be comfortable in."
"In the circle, I learned that if I say what I am feeling and don't hold it in, I feel so much better in the long run."
"I feel safe knowing that everything I say is confidential. Nothing will be repeated in school or anywhere else."
