Heart & Sole at Patton!

The YMCA of Greater Brandywine is excited to start a new chapter of its middle school program, Heart & Sole, at Patton this fall! This program, headed by Patton parent Sue Holinsky, begins the week of September 19 and ends with our 5K event on Saturday, December 3 in Downingtown. Our team is planning on meeting every Tuesday and Thursday from 2:20 - 4 pm at Patton. Heart & Sole creates a positive, structured space for middle school girls to learn about themselves, explore new ideas, cultivate empathy, strengthen connections and develop life skills that will help them as they move through adolescence and beyond.

The Heart & Sole curriculum is rich with themes girls can relate to, addressing the whole girl—body, brain, heart, spirit and social connection—and building important life skills such as team building, developing a support system, boundary setting, decision making, asking for and providing help and more.

Use this link for a Heart & Sole registration flyer as well as a coach recruitment flyer - we are in need of at least two more coaches to have the program run. Parents and staff members make excellent coaches!
