Partnership Spotlight: Girls Hearts on Fire × Greentrike
Beyond the Bell Enrichment Programs
Girls Hearts on Fire is proud to partner with Greentrike’s Beyond the Bell program to provide high-quality enrichment programs for elementary school students in Tacoma. Through this partnership, we bring our Hearts on Fire curriculum directly into school communities; creating safe spaces where students can explore self-expression, practice leadership skills, and build confidence alongside their peers.
Together, we believe that when young people are given consistent opportunities to use their voice, express their creativity, and practice kindness, they develop the tools needed to thrive both in and out of the classroom.
