The program is designed to create an intergenerational relationship between teenage girls, young adults, and older women. Regular interaction and bonding between the generations of women encourage pre-teen and teenage girls to uncover their personal relationship with God.  They discover how that relationship reflects their self-image, attitude, knowledge, and skills along with problem-solving and conflict-resolution skills.
