Girls Thrive Strength, Confidence, and Community, One Girl at a Time.

We envision a world where girls not only grow up to be strong, confident, and community-oriented women, but also face no barriers to participation in sports.

💪🏼This week in Community Program, we focused on SELF-ESTEEM and GOAL-SETTING!

✂️On Monday, girls used their skills to traverse the climbing cave while challenging each other to rock paper scissors! Have you ever tried playing rock paper scissors on the rock wall? It's a challenging skill to learn! 😂

🏋🏼‍♀️On Tuesday, we met Dr. Katy Kelly with Guide Physio and Rehab to practice core-strengthening skills, weight circuits, and setting personal SMART goals. Thank you Katy Kelly, DPT🏔️ Injury Rehab Coach for building strength and confidence with our girls!

🚴🏼‍♀️🚴🏼‍♂️Thursday finished the week with a positive self-esteem cruise ride through town despite the snowy/wet trails. We'll be prepared to hit the trails again next week!

Next week, we'll be learning about POSTIVE BODY IMAGE! It is so awesome to see how much these girls have grown in strength, confidence, and community. Keep rocking it girls! GIRLS THRIVE! 🙌🏼

We are so grateful to our sponsor, Stonetree Climbing, for all their support on and off the wall. Thank you Stonetree Climbing, we love our rock climbing days!

⛷️🚵🏼‍♀️🧗🏼‍♀️The Women's Adventure Film Tour is coming November 7th! Check out the second of our three featured films:

🧗La Rubia: Filmmaker: Bronwyn Hodgins, Julia Cassou

In this all-female production, 32-year-old Canadian climber Bronwyn Hodgins faces burnout after a series of Big Wall expeditions. Unsure how to move forward she decides to shift her focus to sport climbing, thinking it will be less mentally strenuous than big walls. Little does she know that this new curiosity for training and athletic performance will plunge her into the most intense mental undertaking of her life.

Can you BELIEVE we've already finished the FIRST WEEK of the Elementary School Program?! 😱

This year we are at three schools in Helena: Broadwater, Bryant, and Smith. We are grateful to Helena Public Schools for allowing us to provide this program afterschool!

⛷️🚵🏼‍♀️🧗🏼‍♀️ The Women's Adventure Film Tour is coming November 7th! Check out the first of our three featured films:

🚵 Trail to Bayanihan: Filmmaker: Cat Aeppel

“Trail to Bayanihan” follows Sam’s journey as she pedals through diverse landscapes, celebrating the joy of biking and the power of community. Along the way, she discovers how a bike can bridge distances and forge deep human connections. As she explores breathtaking terrains and bonds with local riders, including the passionate Baguio crew, the film highlights the Filipino biking community’s role in shaping her journey. Grounded in her search for cultural roots, “Trail to Bayanihan” ultimately reveals the wider family Sam finds through biking, transforming her quest for heritage into a celebration of shared humanity.

This week in Community Program, our theme was CONFIDENCE ✨

📸On Tuesday, we wrapped up the final day of our trails project with Prickly Pear Land Trust Stay tuned for details about the PhotoVoice project!

🚵🏼‍♀️Thursday rounded out the week with our first ride to the trails! Girls rocked it on the skills course up Davis Gulch.

🎉The Women's Adventure Film Tour is coming to Helena! 🎉

WHAT: Girls Thrive will be hosting the Women's Adventure Film Tour (WAFT)! The WAFT is a celebration of the inspiring women around us who are doing extraordinary things in the name of adventure. Every year, WAFT’s selection of unique films is carefully chosen to show incredible women achieving their personally adventurous goals. Being adventurous doesn’t always have to mean being the fastest, going the highest, or doing the most extreme things. Adventure for most of us is stepping outside our comfort zone and climbing our own personal Everest. The films showcase real stories about women from a variety of cultures and sports around the world.

WHEN: November 7th, 5 p.m. - 9 p.m. Films from 6 p.m. - 8 p.m.

WHERE: HMS Auditorium in Helena, MT

We hope you join us on November 7th for a night of epic films! We will also have food trucks, a student photography showcase, and a silent auction to benefit Girls Thrive. See you there!

Our theme this week at Community Program was BRAVERY 🧗🏼‍♀️

🧟‍♀️🦖On Monday, girls used zombie and T-Rex arms with swivel toes to move efficiently along their chosen challenge routes. Roars of confidence optional, but encouraged!

👟On Tuesday, everyone returned to Little Moab Trail and moved up the working line to continue the trails project with Prickly Pear Land Trust. It's so awesome to improve a trail within out community for everyone to use. We also got to smell some ponderosa pine trees! (IYKYK 👃🏼)

🚵🏼‍♀️Thursday wrapped up our week with opportunities to execute bravery at the Vigilante Bike Park. Our bike skills are increasing!

We're so grateful to the sponsors who help us provide programming each year. One of our generous sponsors for the Fall Community Program is NorthWestern Energy. Thank you NWE for supporting our girls!

Next week, our theme is CONFIDENCE!
