In a culture where girls mature in a sedentary environment of fast food restaurants and 24/7 television - a culture where eating disorders, low self-esteem and poor nutrition choices are all too common - how do we encourage girls to "grow strong?" 
The Grow Strong program provides resources and activities that instill in girls the habits that will influence their emotional and physical health for the rest of their lives. Grow Strong was made possible by a generous grant from CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield. The Grow Strong program is completed through the use of one of our activity kits.
