HEART & SOLE

We help middle-schoolers find their place

Trained coaches host a 6th-8th grade program in their community to inspire girls to value what makes them unique. Together, teams uncover confidence and understand the importance of physical and emotional health.

Connect Locally

The research-based curriculum motivates participants to:

Learn more about themselves

Become independent and critical thinkers

Develop skills to write their own stories

Find inner strength through physical activity

“It makes you feel good to be somewhere with girls where you can be free and can let yourself loose. And you don’t have to try to be like everyone else.”

Lilly, age 11 | 6th-8th Grade Program Participant (Heart & Sole)

Emphasis on the whole girl

Heart & Sole focuses on five key parts: body, brain, heart, spirit, and how 6th-8th grade program teammates connect with others.

Set goals to succeed

Teams work on setting goals through exercises and discussions. Each season ends with a non-competitive 5K Celebration, where participants celebrate who they are, how far they have come and where they want to go.
