HERE IS WHAT SOME OF OUR EXEC LEADERS HAVE TO SAY 😍

  • My favorite part of being an exec team leader is watching the members' personalities shine through as they become more comfortable in CHAARG. It is amazing to see how something I helped to plan allows girls to connect with one another + gain confidence.

    Ellie CHRISTOPHER NEWPORT UNIVERSITY

  • My favorite part of being an exec team leader is creating graphics to help recruit more members. I love being able to advertise our events and mission, which makes it exciting to attract new people to CHAARG. Additionally, taking photos at events is a highlight for me; it’s rewarding to capture the energy + joy of our members.

    Jane MARQUETTE UNIVERSITY

  • I like the full circle moment I have at events. Knowing that 2 years ago I was a freshman who didn't know anyone, + now I get to help those who are in that same position. It makes me feel proud of myself + also makes me want to get to know girls who may not know anyone!

    Marissa MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY

  • My favorite part is making people feel included. When I first joined I was so scared of being judged because I had a long way to go with my physical fitness. I don't want others to feel like they are not a part of this great group because CHAARG is really for everyone as long as they want to be there + want to try new things.

    Andrea UNIVERSITY OF MAINE

  • My favorite part is seeing my "success." After every event, when everybody is all worn out from the workout + they all say, "That was so much fun but it kicked my butt." I love to see that. My favorite part of working out is the feeling afterwards + it's nice to see the comfortable environment we've been able to create for other girls.

    Grace VIRGINIA COMMONWEALTH UNIVERSITY

  • I love seeing the transformation of girls kinda being friendly on workout week 1 to having full out groups + buddies as we get into the school year. I like to feel like I am helping at least one other girl out there feel a bit more empowered or excited to be in her wellness era.
