The transition to high school can be challenging.

This virtual workshop is specifically designed for rising 9th grade young women with the goal of providing them with skills and specific tips and strategies to help them succeed in high school.
The content that will be covered in this virtual workshop is of special importance now as teens are experiencing greater levels of stress and anxiety due to the disruption and uncertainty resulting from Covid-19. Each speaker will present their content with special consideration given to these circumstances and how they impact rising 9th graders.

Young women today are faced with many pressures. They must learn to balance competing demands while taking care of their own health and wellness.
