Bio Girls (Beautiful Inside and Out) is an organization that helps to improve the mental health and self-esteem of adolescent girls through empowerment of self and connection with others.  It is a self-confidence building program which includes volunteer non-parent mentors for the girls in the program,  research-backed lessons and hands-on activities, plus non-competitive physical activity,  a community service project for each session, and participation in a 5K run!  Bio Girls also enhances the lives of the 12 adults who volunteer for the sessions. If you know of a girl who might be interested in the program, have them e-mail jamestown.nd@biogirls.org or go to their Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/BIOGIRLSJamestownnd.  Scholarships and referrals are available to reach the most at risk/disadvantaged.
