The OP Community is for…
Girls & Youth
Life is hard, especially as a girl ages 10-18 in a world that is constantly changing and demanding more from her at every turn. But when you’re surrounded by caring peers and adults who are always ready to listen, guide, encourage, and welcome you just as you are, you can learn to travel life’s bumpy roads with confidence and joy. And you’ll do it all while making great friends, learning new skills, and sharing in fun, restorative connections, and experiences.
Caregivers & Families
Raising a teen or tween girl today is more challenging than ever. We’re here to help. Our robust resources are available to equip you with more ways to support and empower your girl as she learns to manage life’s ups and downs. We offer safe and cherished girl-only spaces at our physical locations, abundant opportunities for social connection and creative expression, and even therapy. We offer also programming for the whole family in schools, the community, and in rural areas.
Educators & Advocates
Preparing girls and youth to face and manage life’s challenges with confidence and optimism is easier said than done. Our robust, research-driven professional development and anti-oppression trainings equip adults with the tools and knowledge needed to support girls’ social-emotional wellness and be the allies they need to thrive, while also igniting systemic change that improves the lives of everyone in our communities.
