Made 2B More has two main programs: Our "Leaders" Program and our "S.I.S.T.E.R.S." (Stay in School to Excel, Rise, and Succeed) Program.
Our Leaders program is a 9 month program for girls in middle school (ages 10 - 13) that begins in September and goes through May. Sessions cover topics including: Self-Esteem, Abstinence, Finance, Communications, and much more. Girls perform community service, hear from great speakers, and enjoy outings. We meet in Perry, from 10 am - 1 pm, the 2nd Saturday of each month. Registration is now underway for the 2010 - 2010 year. Program dues are $180 for the year ($20 per session). A parent and daughter interview and registration is necessary to attend.
