The Boys & Girls Clubs of
America (BGCA) announced on July 12 the launch of a new initiative to answer
the “uncomfortable” questions many young girls have. The initiative “Girl Talk: What's Your Question?” is a partnership project with the Kimberly-Clark
Corporation and is part of the SMART Girls program.
“Girl Talk: What's Your
Question?” aims to provide girls aged 8 to 17 with valid information about
highly relevant issues such as dating, sex, self-esteem, personal hygiene and
body image. The initiative was borne from the massive amounts of misinformation
that is readily available to tweens and teens.
As a part of the SMART Girls
program, the "Girl Talk: What's Your Question?" initiative utilizes
social media and invites tween and teen girls to submit their questions about
transitioning to womanhood. Questions can be submitted via Facebook and Twitter
and the BGCA is offering chances to win prizes for those that submit questions.

Girls program, visit BGCA.
