GO GIRLS! The London Community Foundation provides support for the Big Sisters Healthy Body, Healthy Minds program.
Adolescence can be tough – especially for girls who are facing the issues of today’s world. The Go Girls! Healthy Bodies, Healthy Minds is a Big Sisters program that targets girls in grade 7 & 8 and is designed to provide them with the tools to assist them in making healthy choices around the issues of physical activity, balanced eating and feeling good about themselves.
Acting as a role model, Big Sisters volunteers support the girls in dealing with the emotional, social and cultural issues they may be facing. The program, which received some financial support from The London Community Foundation, takes place once a week for seven weeks during which time the participants take part in fun and active games, healthy snack breaks and discussions aimed at developing self esteem.
