Mindfulness • purpose • intuition • grounding • emotional awareness
No religious teachings-simply exploring meaning, identity, and self-growth.

Monthly Leadership Labs (virtual or in person)
Mini-retreats over a weekend.
Creative expression + identity work

Applications open yearly. Girls must present two letters of recommendation, complete an application, and undergo an interview.
This is a Fort Worth-based organization, and in-person activities are presented in the area.
Safety & Inclusivity
We prioritize:
Psychological safety
Inclusive, youth-safe language
Support for neurodiverse and LGBTQ youth
Trauma-informed, strengths-based practices
Community-building and belonging
All adult mentors are background-checked and trained in youth leadership development.
Expectations for Youth in Both Groups:
Participants should:
Attend meetings regularly
Engage respectfully in group conversations
Try new skills and activities
Contribute to group projects
Communicate if they need support
No previous leadership experience required-just enthusiasm and curiosity.
The next Magical Rebel Cohort is now accepting applications.
This Cohort is FULL
This is a small, intentional cohort designed for girls who are ready to explore who they are, how they lead, and how they move through the world with curiosity, integrity, and care.
Magical Rebels is not about fixing, labeling, or rushing growth.
It is about creating space for reflection, self-understanding, and gentle leadership development—supported by trusted mentors and a thoughtfully designed community.
What makes this cohort different:
Small group pods with consistent mentors
Strength-based identity exploration (not performance or comparison)
Creative reflection through journaling, symbols, and ritual
Emphasis on emotional safety, boundaries, and belonging
Leadership modeled as care, clarity, and courage
Girls are invited to bring their whole selves—questions, strengths, uncertainty, and all.
Who This Cohort Is For
The Magical Rebel Cohort is a good fit for girls who:
are thoughtful, curious, or deeply perceptive
want to understand themselves better
care about fairness, creativity, or connection
benefit from gentle structure and meaningful community
No prior experience is required—just openness.
How Applications Work
Because this is a small cohort, we use an application process to ensure:
group balance
emotional safety
supportive pod placement
Applications are reviewed with care, and families will be contacted with the next steps.
