Safe Bodies, Strong Voices

Have you noticed that some of your daughters, sisters and neighbors are walking a little taller, helping out more and encouraging others? It may be that they’re part of the new Northside community group for teen girls called Safe Bodies, Strong Voices (SBSV). Participants meet twice a week to learn self-defense, practice finding personal strength through self-expression and learn from the experiences of fellow community members.
