Our Schools
Bloom in the Gorge will be at 2 schools in Hood River, Oregon during the 2025 – 2026 school year!
*Students from other schools can attend our workshops at May Street Elementary.
What's Included
1.5 Hour After School Program
The after-school workshop series will be a one-and-a-half-hour class meeting once a month at different schools throughout districts in the Columbia River Gorge.
Snack & Craft Supplies
Each class focuses on the following format: Opening and closing circle, group discussion on the topic of the month, and games / activities / art projects that teach actionable, age-appropriate relational skills.
Valuable Learning
Girls love our workshops and look forward to coming every month. Each month will have a different theme covering a variety of topics. We focus on practicing life skills, for a fun-filled adventure of self-advocacy, empowerment, and personal growth.
We have heard your input and made changes to our curriculum.
Optional massage is no longer a part of our nervous system calming series at the end of workshops. Thank you for your candid feedback in helping us improve to meet your needs!

Support a Girl in Need With a Scholarship Contribution
Together, we can open doors and make a difference — one spot at a time.
If you are in a position to give, we invite you to add a “Scholarship Ticket” to your order and contribute an amount of your choice — between $5 and $40 — to help fund a spot for a girl in need. Your generosity ensures that more young women have access to meaningful, confidence-building experiences and a supportive community.
