Ophelia's Girls
About
Ophelia's Girls is a volunteer-based mentorship group between female students at Colgate University and middle school girls at Madison Central School. We work with the middle school counselor at Madison Central to schedule and execute a variety of lessons, activities, and conversations surrounding adolescence. More specifically, the team focuses on the benefits of group discussion to facilitate conversations about bullying, family conflict, female empowerment, and physical and mental health. We incorporate fun activities into our discussions that allow for active and meaningful engagement with each other and with the topic of the week. Through consistent and dedicated service, we develop trusting relationships with the middle school girls that allows us to successfully execute lesson plans based on issues the girls are facing in their lives.
We provide transportation!
