This highly interactive workshop features a mix of whole group and small-group activities, many led by Jr. Mentors—high school girls who have already navigated the transition to middle school. Younger girls often feel more at ease asking their questions and sharing their concerns with teen mentors who can relate to their experiences and understand their worries about starting middle school.
