Create Impact, Earn with Integrity & Do What You Love—After School

You love supporting girls. You’ve seen firsthand how a little encouragement, reflection, and connection can shift everything. And lately, you’ve been thinking…

“What if I could turn this passion into something more?”
More reach. More consistency. Maybe even more income.

Here’s the truth:
You can make extra income by running after-school girls empowerment programs.
And you can do it without burning out, selling out, or sacrificing what matters most. In fact, this kind of work often fillsyour cup.

đź’ˇ Key Takeaways

  • You don’t need to leave your full-time job to get started

  • After-school programs are high-impact and low-stress to run

  • You can charge for your time while still serving with heart

  • Ready-to-use curriculum makes it easier than ever to begin

  • Start with one offering and grow sustainably from there

 

Why After-School Empowerment Programs Work So Well

They’re short, structured, and powerful.
They give girls a safe space to be themselves, decompress, and build confidence.
And they fit beautifully into a weekly or biweekly rhythm without requiring full-time hours.

As a group leader or coach, after-school programs allow you to:

  • Make a meaningful difference in your school or community

  • Generate steady, values-aligned income

  • Strengthen your leadership skills

  • Build something of your own, one session at a time

It’s purpose-driven work with practical benefits.

 

Step 1: Choose Your Structure

You don’t need to launch a full coaching business to get started. Just offer one small, focused group that fits your schedule and energy.

Popular formats:

  • 4- to 6-week series (great for confidence, friendship, or leadership themes)

  • Drop-in circles (monthly or biweekly)

  • Mini-courses (goal-setting, body image, journaling, etc.)

  • Special event workshops (Mother-Daughter Night, Self-Love Week, etc.)

Sessions can be 60–90 minutes long and run once per week after school.

You don’t need to overcomplicate it—just start with one group.

 

Step 2: Pick Your Theme

Your theme gives your program clarity, focus, and purpose. Choose one that meets girls where they’re at emotionally and developmentally.

Girl-approved themes include:

  • Confidence from the Inside Out

  • Kindness Is Strength

  • Real Talk: Friendship & Feelings

  • Brave, Not Perfect

  • Lead Like a Girl

Use your theme to guide your journaling prompts, discussions, and activities.

 

Step 3: Use a Done-For-You Curriculum

Real talk: if you’re working full time, you don’t have time to plan a full curriculum from scratch.

That’s where the FearlesslyGiRL Program Kits come in. They include:

  • Complete workshop and group session outlines

  • Journaling pages and printable handouts

  • Empowerment activities and scripts

  • Slides and graphics

  • Confidence-building tools you can use again and again

This means less prep for you, and more impact for your girls.

 

Step 4: Set Your Pricing (With Heart)

Yes, you can charge for your time—and still lead with integrity. Think of it as energy exchange: you’re offering transformation, space-holding, and care.

Pricing tips:

  • 4-week series: $50–$125 per girl

  • Single sessions: $15–$30 each

  • Scholarships: Offer 1–2 free spots if needed to keep it inclusive

  • Partnerships: Ask schools or organizations to sponsor or promote your program

You can also offer early bird rates or sibling discounts to boost enrollment.

 

Step 5: Promote Locally First

You don’t need a big audience to get started. Begin with your immediate network:

  • Families at your school

  • Local parent or community groups

  • School counselors and administrators

  • Libraries, churches, or rec centers

  • Word of mouth and flyers

Start with a goal of 6–10 girls. It’s the perfect size for connection and growth.

 

Step 6: Keep It Sustainable

This is a side hustle—not a second full-time job. Keep it joyful and manageable:

  • Reuse materials and routines

  • Batch your prep work

  • Create clear start/end dates for each group

  • Schedule breaks between sessions to recharge

You get to build this in a way that supports your life—not drains it.

 

What’s Possible?

Let’s say you run one 6-week program for 10 girls at $75 each.
That’s $750 in extra income—on top of the joy and connection you’ll experience.

Add one workshop per month or repeat the program seasonally?
That number grows while still keeping your schedule light and flexible.

And as you gain experience, you can expand into 1:1 coaching, weekend retreats, or even your own full-time empowerment practice—if that’s what you dream of.
