Gracefully Strong is a self-esteem program created to help develop a positive sense of self in girls ages 10-14. This group program used by schools, churches and other organizations is designed to show girls how inner strength and self-worth are nurtured through healthy physical and emotional choices.
Using hands-on activities and discussions across a 14-week series, self-esteem is broken down into simple forms so girls learn how it looks, sounds and feels. Girls create tools to help them navigate a challenging, yet critical, phase of social and emotional development.

Lesson Goals
Schedule
Sessions are held one day per week for 14 weeks.
They last 45-60 minutes and can be held during the school day or directly after school. The maximum group size is 20 girls. A group this size or smaller creates a feeling of safety and fosters the best participation among girls.
Our Story
Gracefully Strong was created by former school counselor Heather Stark after she started noticing how female students experienced self-doubt that impeded them socially and academically, often leading to unhealthy behaviors. This self-esteem curriculum is designed to empower girls with “brain tools” to help them safely navigate moments of doubt, difficulty with friendships, social-media influences and pop culture’s definitions of beauty. It has been used in schools since 2015, with results showing 80% of girls experience increased self-esteem and self-worth after completing the program.
