BIO Girls is on a mission to improve the self-esteem in adolescent girls through empowerment of self and service to others.

This is a small site running program for girls grades 2 - 6 that includes 12 sessions, 90 minutes each. The BIO Girls Season is 12 weeks starting in early March and ending in mid-May. Registration opens in early February each year and stays open until the site fills or through the first two weeks of the season.

We can’t believe how fast the last 12 weeks have flown by! We are so very grateful to everyone who helped make this season possible.

We hosted an incredible Art Showcase this evening to celebrate and shine the light on our BIO Girls and their art projects they've been creating in season AND at home. As mentors, the pride and joy was in full force as we watched the girls showoff their art and be recognized for all their hard work.

Our final mantra: I AM BIO sends participants off with the belief that they are truly BEAUTIFUL , inside and out. Thank you for a great season!

Thank you to Dakota Medical Foundation for allowing us to use their beautiful space and to UPS Store for printing our amazing sign and programs.

Grateful for another season with some amazing girls, mentors and families!

Failure is often seen as a bad thing. We mess up. We make mistakes. We don’t do our best. But failure can also be a gift.

Today we focused on making progress, pushing through challenges, and learning to accept our mistakes with grace. We learned there are many benefits to failing and how learning to grow from failure helps us persevere in life.

Our mantra: 𝗜 𝗙𝗔𝗟𝗟. 𝗜 𝗥𝗜𝗦𝗘. 𝗜 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗘𝗔𝗧. Reminds us that failure is a part of life, it’s not something you outgrow!

**NEXT WEEK is our Art Showcase where BIO Girls will be display and share their works of art to family and friends. We can't wait to see the excitement and pride on the faces of our girls and those who love them most!**

Today we went deeper on a previous week's lesson on self-worth and discussed how media and entertainment often show us unrealistic beauty standards and how self-worth is not tied to how you look.

We took time to watch a video on how photo editing, filters, and AI can make something appear “better”.

We finished today's lesson with an exercise that helped participants discover what truly makes them BIO (beautiful, inside and out) and sent them off with our mantra: 𝗡𝗢 𝗙𝗜𝗟𝗧𝗘𝗥𝗦 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗𝗘𝗗!

How can we be so close to the end of our season already!? Just 3 weeks until our Art Showcase finale where our girls will show off all the projects and hard work they've put in.

Today’s lesson demonstrated how comparison can make us feel worse especially if we are nervous that others are watching/judging us. This lesson is important as we head into our finale soon because we are all here to do our best.

Our mantra: 𝗠𝗬 𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘, 𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗘 isn’t just about running.

It’s about knowing that the pace of life we are living is just for us. We can feel more confident and worry less in those situations where we feel like everyone is watching us and keep this mantra on repeat.

We’ve spent the last few weeks learning how to show kindness to others. Our lesson this week moves into showing kindness to ourselves - not always an easy task!

We want participants to know how valuable they are - just the way they are - not through what they do, what they have, or how others see them.

We sent them off with the mantra: 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗧𝗛𝗬 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗥𝗬𝗜𝗡𝗚.

We kicked off our session today with a mini lesson and our mantra: 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗧𝗢 𝗦𝗘𝗥𝗩𝗘!

One of the best days of BIO Girls is Service Project Day! This session is dedicated to giving back to our community. We chose to create/decorate Kindness Rocks and place them throughout a nearby park. We also took time on our walk to pick up garbage and get the park looking healthy and ready for Spring.

We were all excited to be outside in the sunshine and leave some fun surprises for others utilizing the park spreading kindness wherever we go!

The best part about giving back is that anyone can do it.

Today’s lesson continues to build on last week's learning about empathy and walking in someone else’s shoes.

We took it to the next step and talked about how sometimes all it takes is that one person to step up for someone else and make that difference.

We put kindness into action through a project that allows participants to spread joy to others and ended with a great stamp making art project.

We left with the reminder: 𝙆𝙄𝙉𝘿𝙉𝙀𝙎𝙎 𝙄𝙎 𝘾𝙊𝙉𝙏𝘼𝙂𝙄𝙊𝙐𝙎

In a world that focuses on “me” we shifted our focus to others.

Our lesson today encouraged participants to pause and consider others’ feelings.

We talked about empathy and what the world might be like through someone else’s perspective.

We even practiced some empathy in action by working through various situations in our groups.

Today’s mantra: 𝙎𝙏𝙀𝙋 𝙄𝙉𝙎𝙄𝘿𝙀 𝙏𝙃𝙀𝙄𝙍 𝙎𝙏𝙊𝙍𝙔 reminds us that not everyone sees things the way that we do.

03/10/2026

Passive. Aggressive. Assertive.

Today participants learned how they can stand up for themselves using clear and kind communication skills. Our lesson included demonstrations on tone, body language, and even how the words we use can show confidence and respect.

Our mantra: 𝘽𝙍𝘼𝙑𝙀 𝘼𝙉𝘿 𝙆𝙄𝙉𝘿, 𝙀𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙔𝙏𝙄𝙈𝙀 is a simple reminder of how it’s ok to stand up for ourselves when needed.
