The Ohio State University implemented a service learning project using the Girls Circle model. College women who were facilitating the circles for girls in their local communities began to participate in their own Women’s Circles using the same format and were convinced by the impact. A team of six OSU staff with Master’s Degrees in Higher Education & Student Affairs and Counseling partnered with the Girls Circle Association to present the Women’s Circle activity guides now available for women everywhere.

Girls Circle Association’s passion and purpose to promote girls’ resiliency, confidence, and connection is now proudly expanding to offer gender responsive programs for women! Read about the success of Women’s Circles at The Ohio State University.
