What is Girls Club?
-
We are a community of women educators working to empower young girls to know, love, and celebrate their growing bodies! Originally founded by Annie Wolf, Girls Club has become a global organization with local chapters.
My name is Michelle and I run the Detroit and Metro Detroit chapter! I’m a yoga teacher, PhD student, and have 8+ years of K-8 educating. I’m passionate about the health and wellness of girls and women and believe knowledge is power! Girls Club educates girls and in doing so empowers them to thrive by knowing their bodies.
-
Girls Club is a 5-week workshop series for girls ages 8-13. There are 5 total lessons that are 90-minutes each. Each series costs $195 per student. Each series is capped at 12 students.

1) Female Anatomy
Female Anatomy is broken up into three different areas of the body.
Anatomy of the breast (milk duct, nipple, areola)
Anatomy of the female reproductive organs (eggs, ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, cervix, vagina)
Anatomy of the vulva (pubic mound, anus, clitoris, urethra, vaginal opening, inner and outer labia)
2) Male Anatomy
Basic male anatomy is taught, including 4 body parts:
Penis, testicles, scrotum, urethra
This is a minimal part of Girls Club. We know our female parts are beautiful and powerful, and we celebrate that boys' body parts are, too! We want to show similarities between anatomical structures here and this serves as a foundation for next-level Girls Club.
3) Body Safety
What is safe touch? What is unsafe touch? What do you do if you ever experience an unsafe touch? In Girls Club, we teach how to honor your preferences and body boundaries. We teach that our bodies belong to us and we are in charge of them!
4) Puberty Changes
We celebrate puberty that happens on its own timeline and talk about 8 changes that happen, including:
Hormone release
Growth Spurts
Breast Buds
New Hair Growth
Body Oil
Active Oil Glands
Vaginal Discharge
Periods/Menstruation
5) Celebration
Each weekly series ends with a celebration. The girls review everything they have learned, celebrate how far they have come, and end with a culminating self-love activity. Weekly practices include:
Community circle time
Breathing practices (may include essential oils for aromatherapy)
Sharing-being witnessed, heard, and understood
Affirmation practices sealed with a temporary tattoo
Self-love activities
-
Education. Self-Love. Celebration. Sisterhood.
