--Educational workshop focused on healthy hygiene habits.
(Interactive Workshop Option for 3rd-8th graders)-
NO girl wants to be the stinky kid in school (or anywhere else!).
Our interactive workshop was created to stress the importance of daily hygiene practices that ensure the girls have an awareness of physical changes, and a firm understanding of how to prevent odors, as their bodies transition into and through puberty.
We want ALL girls to have the opportunity to know the basics of hygiene, and our workshop facilitators guide them through scenarios, such as: how to properly wash your face, brush your teeth, floss, and apply deodorant, just to name a few.
As an added resource, we provide each girl that attends our workshop with a reference book (The Care and Keeping of You/The Body Book) to answer questions they may have when they get home. Sparking curiosity creates actions! Help us to encourage girls to want to know more!!
Total Running time of 1.5-2 hours. Each girl receives a resource book and multiple hygiene items to make sure they are set up for success as they go home to practice what they have learned.
--Educational workshop focused on healthy hygiene habits.
(Interactive Workshop Option for 9th-12th graders)-
This educational seminar/workshop is designed to empower girls to become peer mentors by educating them on healthy hygiene habits. The aim is to help them establish a strong foundation for themselves and develop leadership skills to boost confidence in interactions with peers. No girl wants to be known as the one with poor hygiene, which is why this engaging workshop emphasizes the significance of daily hygiene practices. It equips girls with the knowledge to prevent odors and understand physical changes as they go through puberty.
The workshop facilitators lead the girls through various scenarios, including how to properly wash their face, brush teeth, floss, apply deodorant, and use menstrual products. While these may seem like basic skills, many girls have not been taught them, highlighting the importance of filling this fundamental knowledge gap.
As an additional resource, each girl receives the reference book, "The Care and Keeping of You/The Body Book for Older Girls", to address any questions they may have after the workshop. By sparking curiosity, we aim to inspire girls to seek more knowledge.
Each girl will also receive a certificate of completion to boost their confidence and commemorate their hard work during the program. The certificate will be personalized with their name and the date of completion, making it a special keepsake to remind them of their achievements. This recognition not only serves as a memento of their dedication but also encourages them to continue pursuing their goals with determination and passion. The girls will proudly display their certificates, knowing that they have successfully completed the program and are capable of taking on new challenges with confidence.
*Note: This program focuses solely on personal hygiene in relation to girls and puberty, not sexual health.
Duration: 1.5 Hour- 2 Hours
GIrl Stuff is a closet for an ongoing collection of personal hygiene items, of all types, to give each girl who attends our workshop a way to confidently practice what they have learned. If the girls do not have access to the products that they need, then how can they achieve the goal of understanding?
We will provide hygiene items to any girl who needs them. We also follow up with program coordinators who have allowed us to present the I.Y.K.Y.K. workshop at their facility, to provide the girls with needed items.
Hygiene items that have been distributed: hair products for all hair types and textures, soap (body wash and bars), toothpaste, toothbrushes, floss, deodorant, lotion, menstrual care products (pads/tampons/period panties), hair brushes, hair ties, combs, underwear, and socks, just to name a few.
Our bra closet and give-away program has been established, not only to make sure the girls have access to bras, but to also make sure they are wearing the correct size and type for their personal comfort and support.
Educating girls on how to properly wear these garments will allow them a skill that they can share with their family members, friends, and potentially their own children of the future. When our clothes fit properly, and we are comfortable, we feel more confident and not self-conscious.
This program consists of a 30 to 40-minute cardio dance fitness program that uses a wide variety of clean, age-appropriate songs that range from: Rock, Hip Hop, Country, Pop, and more, to keep the participants motivated to MOVE and more importantly……HAVE FUN! Our goal is to show that Healthy comes in all shapes and sizes!
We discuss healthy snack options and how often we should exercise to keep our heart happy! Encouraging movement and
Let’s keep hygiene fun and reinforce healthy habits for children, ages 4-7, by reading exciting and interactive stories!
Our facilitators provide books focused on hygiene and kindness. The books read are: Smelly Melly: Personal Hygiene for Kids and Monsters by Niki Palmer and Tony Densley, and Hygiene...You Stink by Julia Cook (depending on time-frame of program).
Each book focuses on how not everyone knows what it means to have healthy hygiene, or what to do when it comes to talking to a friend about odors or cleanliness.
These books help the children understand that they should be kind and guide their friends with love.
As part of the interactive exercises, we provide a little monster plush doll to practice what they learn about hygiene as we read Smelly Melly (the monster is for demonstration only). The children will go home with hygiene items to practice what they have learned.
Total Running Time: 1 hour
*This workshop is for all children (not just girls), target age of 4-7, but will accommodate older children if they are interested in participating.
