Another benefit from establishing a group agreement is that it also helps to establish a ‘safe space’ for girls emotionally,  physically, and mentally.

• Each girl should feel included and valued
• Girls and adults should know that they need to respect each girl's privacy
• Girl should feel free to share ideas and feelings without the fear that they will be repeated
• Girls should feel free to share their hopes, dreams, fears and feelings without fearing ridicule?

What are some ways to create a "safe space" for the group?

• Welcome each girl by name when she arrives
• Treat each girl consistently and fairly
• Provide teambuilding games and activities
• Plan group calendars with respect toward cultural and religious holidays celebrated by all the girls
• Plan activities with the financial considerations of all families
