Who This is For

Growth Groups are for kids who:

• Hesitate in groups or leadership roles

• 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.

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