Jordan is a dog mom, prevention coordinator for public health, and an overall champion for youth in her community. She will be returning in 2027 for her fifth BIO Girls season.

Meet Lindsey. Mom. Mentor. Advocate. Lindsey works in child abuse prevention and shares with us why her work and volunteering with BIO Girls matters. (and yours does too!)

Did you know, as of now, we have one incredible BIO Girls Dad who has stepped up in his community to lead a program and impact the next generation of girls? Phil Hayes, has served as a Site Director for the last three years in Appleton Wisconsin.

Junior Mentors are those who have completed the 6th grade and are looking to develop their leadership skills through positive interactions.

When Nicole sees a need in her community, she takes action. We are grateful that bringing a BIO Girls site to her area was on her to do list four years ago!

Whitney has volunteered at several programs over the last four years. She does so because she believes in building up the next generation of strong faith filled women who know who they are in Christ and continue to walk with the Lord their whole life!

From participant to mentor, Corinne Cossette, shares with us the incredible impact BIO Girls has on her life.

Carrie volunteers with BIO Girls because the mission is something every girl and woman needs.

“My favorite mantra is You Are Enough. It is important for young ladies to know and understand that they are enough just the way they are. They don't need to be someone they are not or someone they don't want to be.”

First a participant and now a mentor herself, Elle Wahl from Dilworth, continues to see how the power of BIO Girls creates a ripple effect in her community.

Frannie originally volunteered because she believed in the message, the vision and saw the need in her area. She continues to volunteer because she has seen the program work and make changes in girls/participants and she wants that to continue as long as possible.

The BIO Girls program is made possible by hundreds of selfless volunteers. Here are just a few of the long-time change-makers we are recognizing this year.
