BIO Girls, a self-esteem building program that has been a resource for Pope County girls grades 2-6 for the past three years is searching for a new volunteer leader. 

Based out of Fargo, ND, the BIO (Beautiful Inside and Out) Girls program combines life-skills lessons, mentorship, and non-competitive physical activity and has been proven to increase self-esteem in girls and decrease anxiety. The 12-session program is focused on both prevention and intervention to help participants before problems arise as well as during the crux of problem behaviors.

The BIO Girls program is also 100% volunteer-led by members of the community the program serves.

“We are so inspired by the passion and generosity of former volunteer Site Director, Kassie Song, who led the BIO Girls program in Pope County last year. To reach these girls at such a pivotal point in their adolescent years is so important. Because of Kassie and previous volunteers, 120 girls got to experience the BIO Girls program over the course of three years in the Pope County area: learning leadership skills, tips on handling their emotions, tools to build healthy friends and so, so much more. For that we are grateful, said Laura Scott, BIO Girls Director of Program Operations.

BIO Girls is currently searching for a new Site Director to continue the impact in Pope County. To learn more about leading the program, visit the BIO Girls website www.biogirls.org/lead or contact Laura at laura@biogirls.org.
