GRIT 101 for Teens
A division of The Women of True Grit Series, GRIT101 is a program meant to guide teens through life's trials. It only takes a speck of grit inside an oyster shell to form a beautiful pearl.
In life we go through irritations that help us to become the best person we can be.
If your school would like to add this program please contact: Laura Burt at laura.burt@asffoundation.org
