Learn about the school-based ROX Program for Girls

“Outside of the improved attendance, I've overheard ROX girls making a positive impact throughout our school. The "girl drama" has significantly decreased throughout their grade and my girls know when to ask an adult for help to sort out situations before they get out of control.”

— Bree H., ROX Facilitator in Wisconsin

“I presented about ROX to the entire school staff, and received amazing feedback. Staff have been incredibly supportive, wishing that we could impact even more girls.”

—Jane L., ROX Facilitator in Montana
