Girl FWD VIRTUAL is Movemeant’s digital coaching course tailored for middle and high school girls, dedicated to nurturing confidence, security, and self-belief across both digital and physical domains.
Our goal is to facilitate open dialogues about girlhood in today’s digital landscape, foster genuine peer connections, and empower girls to prioritize their well-being.
“After Girl FWD, I noticed lots of changes in how I respond to challenges and difficult situations, as well as a decrease in negative thoughts, indecisiveness, and second-guessing.
I feel better about myself and learned to validate my feelings without bringing myself down or putting myself in a state of despair.
I've developed my confidence, patience and resilience which has been very empowering to me. At the end of the course, I felt like a better version of myself and feel myself getting better every day.”
— Khadija M., 14 years old, Murrieta, CA
Girl FWD includes:
-

-
Community Support:
Girl FWD fosters unity among girls in a supportive digital space where they uplift each other. Through open dialogues on relatable topics like navigating friendships and academic pressures, we build understanding and empathy, redefining what's possible together.
Special Collaboration with Passion Planner
We are thrilled to partner with Passion Planner for the Winter Girl FWD Cohort! Each participant will receive a complimentary Passion Planner and access to two exclusive virtual sessions:
Setting Goals for Holistic Success: Discover how to enhance key areas of your life—academics, relationships, and personal well-being—and create actionable goals.
Reflecting on Progress: Evaluate & Adjust: At the program's midpoint, we'll revisit our goals to ensure they still resonate and make any necessary adjustments.
Statistics reveal that girls are spending more time online and less time connecting with peers, resulting in feelings of isolation and loneliness.
Given the permanence of the digital age, it's essential to educate and empower girls on how to maintain healthy habits, relationships, and mental well-being while navigating increased screen time.
While real-life connections remain invaluable, there is a growing need for digital spaces that foster community, safety, connection, growth, and learning, particularly given the prevalence of online activity among girls.
This is where Girl FWD Virtual steps in.
Meet Aras - a participant in both the Fall 2023 and Fall 2024 cohorts, who is redefining confidence and resilience.
Girl FWD is a fun and supportive digital environment for girls to explore, learn, and grow.
Girl FWD is not like therapy or counseling; instead, it offers opportunities for self-discovery, skill development, friendship-building, and personal achievement.
Our primary focus at Girl FWD is to provide a safe digital space where girls can bring their authentic selves, find belonging, receive validation, and realize they are not alone in their experiences.
