About 2-4-1 Girls Leadership

How Does it Work
Our initial program is designed to immediately give girls voice and choice in the activities. While the core leadership curriculum is standard throughout, we allow the girls to choose from a variety of physical and athletic activities based on interest, available space and equipment. Activities vary from volleyball to yoga to flag football to fencing to group walks…you get the idea. The sport or activity is not the key focus in this 2-4-1 program – leadership development and community building are!

The 2-4-1 Girls Leadership Program can be tailored to any school-community for girls grades 5 to 11. While designed initially for Middle School girls, the program can be adapted to other age groups.
Our ideal group sizes are between 10-24 as we need a quiet space for instruction and an open space to accommodate play-based movement.
