Girl’s Rite Program
Since 2008, Girl’s Rite has provided a safe meeting place and a wide variety of activities for Plumas County teen girls, age 11-18, throughout the year. Based in Quincy, the program helps girls build connections with themselves, their peers, women in the community, and the surrounding forests of this area. Grounded in research on girls’ development, Girl’s Rite provides an all-girl space that supports girls’ capacity for self-confidence; physical and emotional resiliency; healthy relationships; and regular physical activity.
Girl’s Rite encourages and inspires adolescent girls to:
- build and sustain trusting relationships;
- find passion and purpose in life;
- establish positive, non-violent communication techniques;
- creatively solve problems;
- cultivate leadership skills; and
- strengthen a family, peer group, community, and environmental connections.
Participants pursue these strength-based goals through facilitated group mentoring sessions, outdoor recreational activities, and dedicated family bonding time.
