Since 1997, Girls Circle has become a leading gender-responsive model for girls. In 2008, Beth and her colleagues developed The Council for Boys and Young Men, in collaboration with a diverse group of experienced leaders in youth programming. These approaches equip youth to deconstruct limiting and harmful stereotypes about gender and promote safe and healthy connections. In 2012, Beth and her colleagues established One Circle Foundation, the nonprofit that provides facilitator trainings, curricula, and consultation nationwide and in Canada on these research-based circle models.
