For Schools & Colleges

Bring the Assembly to your campus.

We partner with K–12 schools, districts, colleges, and universities to bring leadership, healing, and arts-based programming directly to Black, Brown, and Indigenous girls and women in your community.

01
K–12 Schools

8-week cohorts and in-school programs for girls ages 12–17.

We embed our youth programs — LeadHers in Bloom: Roots (12–14) and Rise (15–17), plus She Builds: Spark (12–14) and Ignite (15–17) — into school days, after-school hours, advisory blocks, or dedicated electives. Programs are co-designed with school leadership, scoped to your calendar, and aligned with SEL and college/career-readiness goals.

02
Colleges & Universities

Sister Circles, cohorts, and retreats for women on campus.

We partner with student affairs offices, multicultural centers, women's centers, and identity-based programs to deliver Sister Circle (ongoing membership community), On Purpose (ages 18–25), and Say Less (ages 26+) — sustained programming, weekend retreats, or speaker series for undergraduate and graduate women of color.

03
Districts & Systems

Multi-site partnerships and facilitator training at scale.

For districts and university systems ready to invest in long-term infrastructure, we offer multi-school cohorts, train-the-trainer certification for your staff, and integration support so the work continues after our facilitators leave the room.

04
Custom Builds

Custom programming, workshops, and event experiences — designed with you.

Need something our core cohorts don't cover? We custom-build programs, single-session workshops, multi-day intensives, assemblies, retreats, and signature event experiences for your school, campus, or district. Tell us your context, your community, and your goals — we'll co-design the rest.

Proof in Practice

What partnership actually looks like.

One full case study and two early pilot stories from schools and campuses that opened the door first.

Featured case study · K–12

She Builds inside a New York City middle school: from "I don't belong in STEM" to a closing showcase the whole building came to.

We embedded She Builds: Spark (ages 12–14) as a 10-week elective at a New York City public middle school serving a majority Black and Brown student body. Two BGA facilitators, one internal counselor champion, one room with circle seating, and 18 girls who showed up every Wednesday.

"Our girls walked in saying STEM wasn't for them. By week 10 they were pitching their builds to the principal. That doesn't happen in a regular elective."

— Partner school counselor

The context

The school's STEM electives were filled with mostly boys, and the counseling team flagged that girls of color were opting out before high school course selection. They needed a girl-only space that named identity and engineering in the same breath.

What we ran

Ten 75-minute Wednesday sessions during the elective block, plus a Saturday family showcase. Curriculum, materials, and a $150 build-kit per scholar were provided. BGA led every session; the school counselor co-held the room.

What changed

Pre/post self-reported "I see myself as a builder" rose from 28% to 89%. Sixteen of eighteen scholars selected at least one STEM course for the following year — up from a baseline of four. Attendance across the cohort held at 96% for the full 10 weeks.

Pilot story · Higher ed

A Sister Circle series at an Atlanta college's women's center.

We ran a six-session Sister Circle series for undergraduate women of color in Atlanta, GA, co-hosted with the college's women's center and multicultural affairs office. Twelve students enrolled; ten finished. The center extended the partnership into a year-long Sister Circle membership for the following academic year.

"It was the first space on campus where I didn't have to translate myself." — Junior, partner college
  • 10 of 12 students completed all six sessions
  • 100% said they'd recommend it to a peer
  • Partnership renewed for a full academic year

Pilot story · Educator training

Teaching The Assembly Method™ to a district's school counselors.

We trained nine school counselors and student support staff across a small urban district in The Assembly Method™ — three full-day intensives plus monthly coaching. By the end of the cohort, six of nine were running their own girls' circles inside their schools using our protocols.

"I have language now for what I was already trying to do. The Method gave me the bones." — District school counselor
  • 9 counselors certified across 5 school sites
  • 6 launched in-school circles within one semester
  • District expanded the contract to year two

What a Partnership Looks Like

Built around your context, not around ours.

Every school and campus is different. We start with a discovery conversation, design a scope that fits your calendar and budget, and pilot before we scale.

What We Bring

Everything you need to run a high-integrity program from day one.

Trained Facilitators of Color

Every program is led by women of color trained in trauma-informed, healing-centered, culturally responsive practice.

Full Curriculum & Materials

Session plans, participant workbooks, art supplies, and assessment tools — fully provided and ready to go.

Family & Community Engagement

Caregiver orientations, closing showcases, and family events so the work extends beyond the school day.

Outcomes Reporting

Pre/post assessments, attendance, qualitative reflections, and a written impact report at the close of each cohort.

What We Need From You

A few non-negotiables that make the work possible.

A Dedicated Space

A consistent, private room where the cohort can gather without interruption — circle seating, not rows.

An Internal Champion

One staff member — counselor, dean, faculty advisor — who holds the relationship on your side and helps recruit participants.

Time on the Calendar

Programs run 8–24 weeks depending on scope. We work with your bell schedule, semester structure, or program calendar.

A Funding Commitment

Programs are fee-based with sliding scale, grants, and Title I/IV alignment available. We help you find funding when budget is tight.
