Project BOLD®
Girls Inc. Project Bold® strengthens girls’ ability to lead safer lives. In addition to developing skills and strategies for self-defense (including physical techniques), girls learn how to seek out and talk with caring adults about personal violence and to advocate on gender-specific violence issues. Girls and young women learn skills, techniques, and attitudes that can help them live safe and overcome the effects of past abuse. Teaching violence prevention strategies and advocating for social change takes time, and requires a developmental approach and long-term commitment.
Components developed to date include Kid-Ability!™ Kid Jr., a Girls Inc. of Omaha program (6 to 8 year olds), Action for Safety™ (9 to 11 year olds), and Living Safe and Strong™ (12-14 year olds).
