COMING JANUARY 2027 | ARKANSAS | GIRLS AGES 8-12 

 

Journey Girls is a faith-based empowerment program from The Journey Collective, Inc., built for girls ages 8–12 across Arkansas. Over the course of a year, participants will join a small, close-knit group of girls for four hands-on, creative experiences — each one paired with a biblical lesson she can actually understand, remember, and use. She'll leave with more than a craft project. She'll leave with a framework for who she is that she can carry for the rest of her life.
