Who This is For

Growth Groups are for kids who:

• Hesitate in groups or leadership roles

• Struggle to make friends or join play

• Spend too much time alone or on screens

• Lack confidence around peers

• Would benefit from being part of a team

Between sessions the kids, parents, & coach stay connected through a shared group chat & document.

Thats where confidence and friendships are built.

How It Works

Six kids and a coach meet via Zoom for six weeks.

The kids connect by working together on weekly missions and take on rotating leadership roles.

• Real-life peer interactions

• Outdoor activity

• Making plans with others

• Trying new things
