Volunteer Highlight — Aubrey Eckroth
Meet Aubrey Eckroth
BIO Girls Volunteer in Bismarck, ND - House of Prayer
Meet Aubrey Eckroth, a passionate and inspiring BIO Girls volunteer at House of Prayer in Bismarck, ND. As she enters her fourth year of volunteering, Aubrey brings with her not only years of experience as a mentor—but also a deep personal connection to the program. Before she was a volunteer, she spent three years as a participant, growing through the very lessons she now helps to teach.
“I volunteer with BIO Girls because I love teaching the other girls about kindness and inclusion. It’s fun watching them grow as people.”
For Aubrey, each season brings fresh joy and reflection. One of her favorite memories is tied to a powerful lesson that resonated with both participants and mentors alike.
“My favorite lesson was about striving for progress over perfection because that lesson was when the girls realized just how much they had accomplished so far, as well as how ready they were for the 5K, our final event.”
Aubrey has seen firsthand the incredible transformation that happens over the course of the season.
“We have girls walk in for the first session who are afraid to talk to anyone, and by the last session, they are sharing stories about how they applied the lessons from BIO Girls at home and in their community. I love seeing times like that because they remind me that I am part of something so great.”
It’s not just the girls who are impacted—Aubrey has found herself learning and growing, too.
“As I am going through the weekly lessons with the girls, I am also learning things, too. Sometimes I find myself thinking, ‘Is there a BIO Girls lesson I could apply to this moment or that moment in my life?’ That is when I realize just how much BIO Girls has benefited me over the years.”
Her favorite part about volunteering?
“I always look forward to seeing the girls and creating new bonds with them and the other mentors.”
Aubrey’s journey from participant to mentor is a true reflection of what makes BIO Girls so special—confidence, community, and growth that continues to multiply. We’re grateful for Aubrey’s heart, dedication, and the example she sets for the next generation of girls.
thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
