Our middle school program, Heart & Sole, is designed to get girls talking. Heart & Sole creates a positive, structured space for middle school girls to learn about themselves, explore new ideas, cultivate empathy, strengthen connections and develop skills that will help them as they move through adolescence and beyond. For this reason Heart & Sole teams are best if facilitated by teachers, social workers or professional counselors. As you can imagine, middle school girls may feel awkward having parents as coaches.
