Meet your Girls Positivity Club Leader, Mrs. Sigmund

I’ve been a leader for three years now and the reason why I became a Girls Positivity Club leader is I really wanted to start to build community not only with my own students but with students who were in other classes and even in other grades. It really is the highlight of my week, and I love spending time with the girls after school and just building this relationship with them and community with them.  The wonderful thing about the club is it not only is beneficial for me because I get to know the girls on a much deeper and personal level, but you also start to see the girls develop friendships that maybe wouldn’t have happened outside of the club.  Also, the girls start to build more confidence, and you start to see this transformation come for many of them just because they are part of the club.  It really is a blessing to be part of the club, and I really enjoy it! 

With Girls Positivity Club, Your Daughter Will Step Into Her Future with Confidence

 

Your daughter will be part of a supportive network of girls who encourage each other to take positive risks, embrace challenges, and celebrate each other’s wins.
Middle school girls in GPC learn how to:

  • Navigate friendships and group dynamics with empathy and confidence
  • Step out of their comfort zone to try new activities, sports, and leadership roles
  • Manage stress from school, sports, and social media
  • Build a strong sense of identity and self-worth in the face of peer pressure
  • Speak up for themselves and others
  • See mistakes as opportunities to grow

She will leave each session more confident, more connected, and better equipped to face the teen years ahead.

Meet the Founder of

Girls Positivity Club

Melissa Jones is dedicated to raising a generation of confident girls. As the founder and executive director of Girls Positivity Club, a nonprofit program empowering girls through confidence-building and connection, she leads a mission to help girls feel seen, supported, and strong — all while having fun.

A global leader, international speaker, and former classroom teacher with over 25 years of experience, Melissa has empowered thousands of girls and families through creative, positive programs that build confidence from the inside out.

Growing up, Melissa struggled with self-doubt and never quite felt like she belonged. Later, as a teacher, she saw so many girls facing similar challenges. That inspired her to create Girls Positivity Club — a safe space where girls could grow, make friends, and feel truly confident being themselves.

Melissa’s work has been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, Woman’s Day, and Parents — and her impact continues to grow through after-school clubs, summer programs, and community support.

Positive Community

Middle school can feel overwhelming—especially with new schedules, bigger social circles, and the pressure to “fit in.” GPC is a safe space where girls can:

  • Be accepted for who they are

 

  • Build friendships across grade levels

 

  • Share openly without fear of judgment

 

  • Be supported by a positive leader and peers who “get it”

What She'll Receive in Girls Positivity Club:

Weekly Meetings – 1 hour of empowerment centered around the 4 Pillars of Empowerment:

  1. Confidence & Identity – embracing strengths and self-worth

  2. Leadership & Visibility – taking initiative and finding her voice

  3. Friendship & Connection – building healthy, lasting relationships

  4. Self-Care & Stress Release – balancing school, activities, and life

Examples of middle school–focused topics:

  • Navigating friend groups and avoiding drama

  • Managing anxiety and school pressures

  • Handling conflict respectfully

  • Developing leadership in sports, clubs, and community

  • Setting personal goals and staying motivated

Creative Activities & Group Challenges
Hands-on activities like art, movement, group games, and creative challenges reinforce lessons while giving girls a healthy outlet for stress and a sense of accomplishment.

Girls Positivity Club helped my daughter overcome challenges 

"GPC has helped my daughter grow in ways I never imagined. My daughter has three (3) learning disabilities, being in Girls Positivity Club has helped her to know her self-worth, the confidence she always had, but lost when she started struggling in school and has helped calm her anxieties, which she struggles with daily. Mrs. Jones has created an outlet to help our girls and I will be forever grateful for her dedication to my daughter."

Ariana, GPC Girl

I had a lot of anxiety before I joined Girls Positivity Club, but now I don't have as much. I really only have it when tests are coming up. It helped by calming me down and learning lots of ways to release my anxiety in positive ways. I have fun in the group doing creative activities and by being around kind people. 

Emilie C., GPC Girl

 

"I like the Girls Positivity Club because it helped me gain confidence and made me think about the possibilities. Another thing I like about the Girls Positivity Club is how there are fun activities, and get to know things about other girls in the club and make friendships. I also like how the club is all filled with girls; girls might have the same insecurities, likes, and dislikes; girls can just understand you because… you are a girl!" 

Jaliyah, GPC Girl

“Girls Positivity Club has changed me by thinking more positive about myself and not thinking down about myself. People make fun of me because of my weight, but I don't care anymore because the group makes me feel happy about myself.”

"Girls group (GPC) has had an amazing impact on my life. It has really helped me be a better person and live a better life." 

Sophia, GPC Girl

"Most of my best friends from school so it's really fun. It's fun to meet new girls and do fun activities too.  I was offered to lead a Tot Hop class at my dance studio. Before Girls Positivity Club, I probably would have said no because I didn't have the confidence I do now."
