How we do it
Inspired by the candid, real conversations young women often have in safe spaces.
Where it starts
Led by our “Big Sister.”
Our curriculum fosters open dialogue led by our “Big Sister” — a dedicated mentor who empowers participants to make informed, healthy choices every day.
Each participant receives personalized 1-on-1 mentoring tailored to her unique needs.
Why us?
The Girls’ Room was inspired by the real, unfiltered conversations that happen in the girls’ bathroom, where truth, vulnerability, and connection naturally emerge. We’ve transformed that spirit into a structured, supportive space for healing, learning, and transformation.
After completing the program, each participant emerges with:
Our comprehensive curriculum goes far beyond sexual education. Topics include:
One-on-one
Our mentors are experienced women who guide girls through understanding their bodies, navigating relationships, and embracing their journey through womanhood.
Through assignments, team-building activities, and creative projects, participants develop vital life skills, emotional resilience, and leadership.
Youth-led
Real Education and Access for Community Health
As part of their training, peer educators become active leaders in the R.E.A.C.H Project.
The name reflects the program’s mission not only to educate within the organization, but also to extend its impact outward — reaching into the broader community with accessible, youth-driven sexual health education.
Through R.E.A.C.H, peer educators become ambassadors of The Girls’ Room, representing the organization at public events and beyond. The project empowers youth to inform, engage, and inspire their peers and community members, creating ripple effects of awareness and positive change.
Earn your certification
We prepare participants to become confident, knowledgeable peer educators who can lead and support their peers in making healthy, informed decisions.
Our program includes 30 hours of comprehensive sexual health education using the Reducing the Risk and Making Proud Choices curricula simultaneously, delivered over 26 weeks.
To become a certified peer educator, participants also complete specialized training in leadership, communication, and facilitation skills — all included within the same 30 hours.
This ensures that our peer educators are equipped not only with accurate information but also with the skills needed to effectively mentor and educate others in their community.
