"Founded in 2002, Girl Talk is a student-to-student mentoring program that pairs middle school girls with high school girls who serve as mentors. Weekly meetings are held before or after school, during which the high school leader conducts valuable lessons that address issues middle school girls face every day. Some examples of weekly lessons are Being Nice, Underage Drinking and How to Talk to Your Parents. Girl Talk has several lessons that have additional resources for our Leaders, Advisors and parents. An example is: Choices & Consequences of Underage Drinking: A Guide for the Mom of a Teenage Girl. For a complete list of Girl Talk Lessons, click here. Middle school girls are encouraged to share any positive news, concerns or problems they may have. The high school leaders are there to listen and to offer support and guidance when needed. Girl Talk chapters are also involved in community service projects throughout the year.

Girl Talk helps middle school girls build self-esteem, learn the importance of community service and most importantly, benefit from a valuable relationship with a high school Girl Talk mentor. In turn, the high school leaders gain a sense of accomplishment knowing they’ve helped make a difference in the lives of many young girls.

Designed to reach ALL middle school girls, Girl Talk welcomes non-traditional chapters as well. Girl Talk currently has home school chapters, athletic team chapters (dance teams, basketball teams, softball teams, etc.) youth groups, after school programs and Girl Scout groups. We also encourage high school girls to think outside the box if their school will not allow Girl Talk meetings to take place before or after school."
