Each club meeting, the presenting club leader use interactive group activities, discussions, or special guest speakers to cover one of over 100 club topics addressing almost every life experience that teen girls go through: gossip, bullying, body image, teen pregnancy prevention, college planning, budgeting, community service, dating, friendship, and talking to your parents, etc., before ending the meeting with a journal question for reflection.

And no i Am My Sister Club would be complete without some bonding time! Spending time volunteering, seeing new places, and experiencing new things will never be the same.
