Welcome to miniHER, an 8-week summer experience created to help young ladies grow in confidence, care, communication, and future readiness.
Brought to you by GroundHER
MiniHER is designed to give parents and caregivers confidence that their child is stepping into a space that is affirming, practical, positive, and engaging from beginning to end.
Girls are encouraged to grow in self-respect, voice, and belief in who they are becoming.
Participants learn practical skills in hygiene, communication, boundaries, money, and decision-making.
MiniHER creates a caring environment where girls can feel seen, heard, and encouraged by peers and facilitators.
The program helps girls connect everyday choices to leadership, aspiration, and the future they want to build.
MiniHER covers practical topics that help teens grow in everyday confidence, healthy choices, and future readiness. The goal is to make learning feel useful, affirming, and easy to apply in real life.
Girls explore self-identity, self-esteem, sisterhood, leadership, and personal growth in positive ways.
Participants learn daily care, body care, puberty, menstrual health, and self-advocacy with respect and clarity.
Girls practice communication, boundaries, conflict resolution, peer pressure awareness, and how to respond to harmful behavior.
The program covers bullying prevention, cyberbullying response, budgeting, saving, smart choices, and future planning.
"MiniHER is designed to strengthen more than knowledge. It helps girls build habits, voice, judgment, and confidence they can carry beyond the summer."
Weekly sessions run Thursdays, June 4 to July 30, 2026. Plus special in-person experiences:
Saturday, June 20, 2026
This in-person event focuses on hygiene, wellness, confidence, and self-care. Girls may participate in a healthy snack social, a build-a-care-kit experience, a hair and skin care conversation, and reflection activities.
Saturday, July 18, 2026
This in-person day focuses on voice, leadership, peer relationships, boundaries, and confidence. Activities may include role-play, team challenges, honest discussion, mentor wisdom, and a leadership pledge.
Saturday, August 1, 2026
This final experience closes the program with celebration, exposure, and real-world learning. It may connect to wellness, entrepreneurship, culture, education, or career exploration.
Parent note: The Saturday events and final field trip are key parts of MiniHER. Please save these dates and plan transportation in advance.
Consistent attendance helps your child receive the full benefit of MiniHER from the first week to the final celebration. Each session is designed to build on the one before.
Topics are connected, so being present each week helps girls keep up with the lessons, activities, and reflections.
Regular attendance helps participants build trust, connection, and comfort with the other girls and facilitators.
Arriving on time helps girls join check-ins, activities, and discussions from the beginning instead of feeling behind.
When families plan ahead for sessions and in-person events, girls are better able to enjoy the program with less stress.
Support does not have to be complicated. Simple, steady encouragement can make a powerful difference.
Help your child attend consistently, arrive on time, and treat each session as an important part of the full MiniHER experience.
Please review the in-person dates early and make transportation arrangements in advance for June 20, July 18, and August 1.
If a scheduling issue or transportation concern comes up, communicate early so planning and support can happen with enough time.
Ask what stood out after each session, celebrate your child's growth, and remind her that this is a positive opportunity created to help her thrive.
