Discovery Girl's Club

Discovery Girl's Club is a leadership club serving mothers and their daughters from kindergarten through sixth grade in San Jose, California.

Our club is run by mom and teen volunteers who are passionate about spreading character development and love of God. Our leadership club themes and activities emphasize the development of personal talents and skills, the pursuit of excellence in study and work, and the generous gift of self to others.

For 15 years, our mission has been to support moms and to help their daughters grow into women of strength and character and become responsible leaders who are motivated by a spirit of service.

Our aims are to:

  • Encourage the practice of virtues in everyday life
  • Foster character development, leadership, and personal discipline
  • Promote Christian moral values

Membership

Discovery Girl's Club membership is open to all kindergarten to sixth grade girls in the South Bay Area.

We welcome girls of all creeds, races, and social backgrounds.

Meetings

Meetings take place on the morning of the fourth Saturday of each month from September through May.

The talks encourage the formation and daily practice of human and Christian virtues, while the activities reinforce the theme of the talk. One-on-one mentoring offers each club member focused advice on practicing the monthly virtue and attaining her yearly goals.
