Our
after school programs are structured to build upon the ideas
and principles found in our national programs. They are offered
during after school hours. These programs are not only educational,
they are also a lot of fun for the girls!
During our after school
programs, classes change every 7 to 8 weeks. We offer an assortment
of classes that range from crafts to self-defense. Flyers for
all of the class sessions are sent to the local elementary schools.
