Testimonials Girl Talk has proven itself to be a highly effective program with both our Middle and Upper School girls. It provides the older girls with a positive and organized way to be leaders while providing the younger girls with tools to help them grow into healthy independent woman. There is no doubt in my mind that our students will look back and remember the advice they were given and experiences they had with their Girl Talk leaders and peers. It is an powerful, fun, and exciting addition to our school day! --Kara Friedman MS, EdS, NCC, LPS, Girl Talk Advisor & Advisory Board Member "Girl Talk is much more than a place for middle school girls to feel safe and form relationships - the high school Leaders benefit indefinitely from the program's one-on-one mentoring structure as well. When you become a Girl Talk leader, you begin to understand that being a leader is more than just standing up in front a group and telling them what to do. It's embracing the incredible lessons of Girl Talk for yourself; literally walking the walk and talking the talk. Girl Talk helped me discover that being a true leader is continuing to lead while no one is watching. I will never be able to convey my gratitude to the founders and many volunteers of Girl Talk, but trying my hardest to give back to the community, whether at my high school or in my new college town, will have to suffice for now. Truly, Girl Talk has changed my life." - Courtney Kissack, Girl Talk Leader It s easy for girls to judge you by what you wear and what you look like, but because of Girl Talk I have learned to see through those misconceptions. Collins, 7 th Grade, Girl Talk Girl
