School-based programming

Some programs operate in partnership with or in space provided by educational institutions. Go Girls! in Toronto is a seven-session program held in schools for girls ages 12 to 14 to encourage physical activity, healthy eating and positive self-image. Girls Club run by Power Camp National/Filles d’action also offers a lunch time and after school program in two elementary and junior high schools in Montreal. The Girls Television and New Media camp is operated in six cities in partnership with community colleges that offer radio and TV arts programs. Others are run by schools or school boards, such as the Girls Club offered for girls in grades seven and eight through the Toronto District School Board. The "When Grade 9 Girls Help Each Other to Succeed" project, supported by the Hamilton Community Foundation and running out of Delta Secondary School in Hamilton, Ontario, is another example. The latter program focused on assisting grade nine girls who faced significant challenges to succeed because of poverty.
