Learning to Fly

Halo Girls Corps is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping young people discover their inner strengths and abilities through physical fitness and service to their community.  We are an inclusive organization that welcomes people of all races and religions. In 2025, we opened out program to all genders as well. 

Our members work to improve the community around them by volunteering their services and their skills. We promote physical fitness, character development, and the importance of education. Halo strives to helping youth understand that they are not limited by conventional stereotypes of what they can do, nor should they be afraid to be themselves.

Halo holds monthly “Intensives” in a program named Glow.  These are quite simply mini camps which include an adaptive workout for all ages,  sharing time, and exploration of a topic (e.g. STEAM, self defense, introduction to the arts, career opportunities, cultural exploration, etc.).  Halo also hosts a number of camps, clinics, and special events throughout the year.

Our Performance Squadron is available to perform at School Functions as well as Church, Corporate, and Charitable Venues.

Halo’s outreach programs include KickStart Martial Arts and Fitness program, school assemblies, charitable appearances, and more. Check out more information on our programs page.
