Teen girls, in the best of times, need support, community and guidance. But the current pandemic has presented immense additional challenges for teens. They have been isolated and ignored. They have been expected to show up to do online school work where no teacher is present. They have been unable to plan ahead, with all the uncertainty of complex hybrid educational approaches. They have cared for family members, and many have lost loved ones to COVID...all while being a teenager.
