Big Sisters Club

The goal of this project is to offer some extra support to 7th and 8th grade girls who may need advice, or someone to talk to and spend time with, especially during remote learning due to covid. We wanted to create a space for girls to feel comfortable and talk freely without being judged.

'21 Staring a Big Sisters Club

  • We emailed schools on the island about the program and arranged to work with groups at Edgartown and Tisbury.

  • We made a sign-up form.

  • We got a list of girls and set up meeting times.

  • We plan activities and conversations on body positivity, media influence, and girls supporting girls.
