Falcon Family- it's that time of year again where we host our Community Days games! Saturday 8/29 (2 wks) we will be hosting home games for all levels and we will have our annual basket raffle and bake sale, donating half our proceeds to a charity of our choice. This year we chose Arise Chautauqua! 🩷

We spoke with the founder, Jess McKeever, who is a huge part of our Falconer Family and this is what she said:

"The goal of Arise Chautauqua is to help all girls live healthy, whole and authentic lives free from abuse and exploitation through intentional connection to community, trusted adults and other support and resources.
Our programming includes Arise Circles (peer groups), Life-skills Classes, Celebrations, The Closet (free access to clothing, hygiene supplies, school supplies, etc.), counseling services in partnership with other local organizations and more! All programming is free and available to ALL girls ages 11 to 18."

Please consider donating a basket or item to raffle, or baked goods for us to sell! 🩷💛

This is one of our absolute best days as a program to be able to give back to our community! We are so honored to be able to come together as a group to help!

Please inbox if you have any questions or can donate!

☀️ We’re looking for Arise Circle Leaders!☀️

We are getting ready to open our Arise Circles for new girls to come join the fun and growth at Arise and that means we’re looking for women in our community who want to partner with us in helping all girls have a bright future.

Arise Circles are small groups for girls ages 11–14 and 15–18, meeting at the Arise House and throughout our community. Together, we create a space where girls can be known, encouraged, challenged, celebrated, and reminded of just how much potential they have.

Circle Leaders walk alongside girls as they explore:
✨ Personal identity & confidence
✨ Physical, emotional & mental well-being
✨ Healthy relationships & boundaries
✨ Future planning & goal setting
✨ And so much more!

You don’t need to be a counselor, teacher, or expert. You just need to be a woman who is willing to show up, listen, encourage, love, and celebrate girls.

More than 30 women have already volunteered as Circle Leaders, and we’d love to welcome more women who want to make a lasting difference in the life of a girl. 🩷

Are you interested in becoming an Arise Circle Leader? Fill out the form below and we’ll be in touch with information about our next Circle Leader training!

We can’t wait to meet you! 🥳☀️🩷
