Making a Difference Monday! The Jamestown Community Foundation Endowment Fund was happy to help fund the 11th season of BIO Girls (Beautiful Inside and Out) programming in Jamestown.
"Interest & community support continues to be outstanding, with 25 participants & 12 adult volunteers in 2026," reported Betsy Stadick. "In 2026, BIO Girls has lessons on Celebrating our Strengths & Empathy for Others, Anxiety & Coping, Kindness, Healthy Relationships & Cliques, Assertiveness & Self-Worth, Social Cognition, Body Image & Real Beauty, Failure & Perseverance. Some favorite activities include making a Strengths Chain, making Friendship bracelets, watching changes to a selfie photo after going through filters & photo-shop editing & playing Mantra Charades."
All BIO Girls programs dedicate one session of every season to Community Service. In 2026, Jamestown BIO Girls made tie blankets to donate to Buffalo Bridges Social Services for those in need. The girls and their mentors also trained for and completed a 5K..
The program helps reduce anxiety and improve self-esteem in girls and is active in communities across North Dakota.
The Jamestown Community Foundation Endowment Fund is a component fund of the North Dakota Community Foundation.
