GAALS & PAALS help children develop valuable life skills to enhance well-being, through a holistic approach that uses active games to spark collaborative conversations. By providing people with a rare opportunity to reflect on their experience as they explore and express their emotions – in context – they are able to connect with their peers on a deeper level. This results in the powerful realization that others share similar feelings, which builds the confidence to try new things, face challenges and solve problems, and ultimately leads to achieving greater competence and overall success. Our mission and approach

GAALS programs empower girls of all ages to build character, confidence and life skills by engaging in fun, active games designed to spark meaningful conversations about their feelings and experiences.

Our unique approach integrates physical activities with group dialogue facilitated by mentors, giving girls a rare opportunity to connect with their peers in a nurturing environment. This enables them to gain valuable insights and develop strategies to navigate their daily lives more effectively.
By sharing their experiences, girls have the powerful realization that others have similar thoughts and feelings, which helps them:

• Build healthy relationships and resilience
• Cultivate the courage to challenge themselves
• Embrace, respect and value who they are
• Face each day with a positive attitude
