The
Girlhood
Project
A middle school assembly that actually stops mean girl culture
The Girlhood Project is the first school assembly designed specifically for girls, based on the real dynamics they face and the hidden ways girls hurt, and heal, each other.
Why just the girls?
Middle school girls experience a unique form of bullying called relational aggression. The quiet, covert behaviors like exclusion, rumor-spreading, silent treatment, isolation and friendship withdrawal rarely get caught by adults but deeply damage a girl’s confidence, sense of belonging and emotional safety.
Because these dynamics are specific to girl culture, they require a focused, girls-only space to address them honestly and effectively. The Girlhood Project meets girls exactly where they are, giving them the language, tools and leadership skills to recognize these hidden patterns, change them, and create a healthier school culture that benefits every student.
An assembly geared specifically for middle school girls is essential to foster real, lasting change.
Why most SEL programs
fail to create change
Because they’re out of touch.
Let’s be honest, middle schoolers are a discerning crowd. Most SEL programs still talk at middle schoolers using outdated language, cringey examples and “grown-up” lessons that don’t sound anything like the real world these girls are actually living in. And when something feels off, boring or uncool, today’s girls tune out immediately.
And if they’re tuned out, nothing changes.
The Girlhood Project flips that. We speak in the language they use, in the culture they understand, in the format they’ll actually pay attention to.
We see them. We get them. We’re honest with them. That’s why it works.
