Strong Women, Strong Girls

2005 BRICK Award winner Lindsay Hyde overcame an eating disorder and started a group, Strong Women, Strong Girls, which incorporated into a not-for-profit agency in 2004.  The group focuses on helping young girls with their self-esteem. She created a curriculum to train college women to mentor elementary school girls. These programs help at-risk girls in grades 3-5 to strengthen their self-esteem and learn skills to help them as adults.
