About HOWL Coaching

HOWL Coaching provides personalized one-on-one life coaching and social emotional skill groups for girls*. Individual coaching and groups provide critical life skills in a safe environment, for girls to explore and grow. By achieving goals they set for themselves, and by being empowered with skills to succeed personally and socially, girls will grow more confident and strong. As girls participate in journaling (in a provided journal), role-plays and group discussion, each girl will learn that her own words are important, and a powerful tool as they navigate their lives.
