Girls Loving Life Winter 2026

Winter 2026

This session of GLL is focusing on responsibility, which includes taking care of yourself. On January 17, we have a guest speaker coming in to talk to the girls about the power and wonder of the female body.  As part of this, she may address growth spurts, physical changes, and period information. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Marcia (mknorr@ywcahanover.org) or Nanci (nmart@ywcahanover.org). 

The program fee is $10. However, no one will be turned away due to an inability to pay. Contact Louis Mart for financial assistance at 717-637-2125 or e-mail lmart@ywcahanover.org

Girls Loving Life is for girls in grades 2-8 and youth mentors in grades 9 -12. This program seeks to inspire, encourage, and motivate young girls in our community to love themselves and value each other! YWCA Hanover created Girls Loving Life.

Space is available for:

Girls in grades 2-8 participate in activities, friendships, and fun.
Girls in grades 9-12 participate as mentors, role models, and youth leaders.

Girls Loving Life focuses on five tenets to build self-esteem, encourage kindness, and help girls develop resiliency, grit, and compassion:

• Love your body: living your best healthy life
• Love your soul: valuing and accepting yourself
• Love others: being kind, accepting, and contributing to the community
• Love to learn and grow: taking risks, facing challenges, and being a lifelong learner
• Love life: celebrating and enjoying each day
