My nonprofit to promote girl-to-girl inclusion

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
To provide girls with friends and a sense of belonging, through meaningful participation in a group that accepts them as they are.

Our Vision

Builder Bees: a hive that welcomes any girl who is looking for friends, and empowers girls to model active inclusion and acceptance of one another, both in the group and in the wider community.

"If I had a place like Builder Bees when I was growing up, I wouldn't be afraid to say things in public. I wouldn't be forever worrying that I had said something wrong."

Sarah Lonsert, professional singer and songwriter.

"I realized today that you don't need words to have friends."

Arizona Lovell, 13

Hi
I am Orley. I am definitely not a digital native, so I am happy to be pushed to create a padlet! I am rather a native of California, but only for 20 years. I grew up on the other side of the pond, in England. I live in LA, and after years of teaching, decided to do my sped credential as I have a child with special needs. I am currently in a long term sub position in an special day class in Beverly Hills. Ever a glutton for punishment/ school, I am now getting my multiple subject credential too.
