Girls Rock uses an evidence based curriculum created by One Circle Foundation. Girls meet weekly on campus to participate in group sessions. The group is facilitated by a female Case Manager and a female Escondido Police Officer. Each week, the girls participate in discussions and activities geared towards empowering them to make better choices.

enrichment activities

Girls participate in enrichment activities that encourage them to utilize skills learned from group in their everyday lives. Girls will learn to take positive risks and gain leadership skills. Past field trips include: Cal State San Marcos, rock climbing, hiking, art activities, fishing, The Wave Water Park, beach, Safari Park, and many more!
