Girls are brimming with potential
The heart behind the club.
BMC leaders are that rare kind of person—young enough to get what it’s like to be 11 or 12, but wise enough to be a real guide. They’re not a mom, not a teacher, not a therapist…but somehow feel like the best parts of all three.
Girls look up to them, trust them, and genuinely enjoy being around them. A leader might remember who grabs the sour gummies and make sure they’re there next time. She notices when someone’s hanging back and gently draws her in.
They help girls explore big ideas—like making tough choices, understanding their soul, or what being Jewish really means—through real, relatable moments: a group conversation, a game, or even decorating cupcakes in a way that sparks something deeper.
And the connection lasts. Many girls stay in touch for years, reaching out for advice or just to say hi. That bond is real and lasting.
She doesn’t push. She listens.
Big questions or quiet presence — whatever a girl brings, the leader makes room for it. That quiet space? That’s where trust begins.
She’s not just running a program. She’s lighting something up.
From a simple text to a birthday treat, it’s the small things she does that make girls feel noticed. That’s what keeps them coming back.
Every girl wants to be seen.
The leader spots the quiet one’s smile, the eye roll that means “I’m listening but pretending not to care,” the shift in energy when a girl finally speaks up. She sees what matters.
She brings the fun, sneaks in the meaning.
Crafts and ice cream are just the start. She uses the fun stuff to open up talks without it ever feeling like a lesson.
She knows when to talk and when to just nod.
Girls don’t want to be told what to do. They want to be heard. She’s not handing down rules. She’s sharing life and holding space for the girls to figure things out.
She lets the questions come when they’re ready.
The leader doesn’t rush it. She creates a space where curiosity can show up naturally.
