Alison McGee, program lead, says the program boosts confidence and builds a sense of community in young girls. PITTSFIELD, Mass. In its sixth year, the Little Bellas mentoring program is giving girls a sense of confidence and community through mountain biking on the trails of Springside Park, say organizers. I think the biggest two things are the confidence-boosting, and then that sense of community. We ve had girls who have gotten together to ride outside of the program afterward or participated in team events, program lead Alison McGee said. They go and kind of grow that way, but that I mean, also, you do see their mountain bike skills grow and I think a lot of it does come from confidence, it s being able to feel like you can tackle anything, and we really emphasize it s doing what you feel comfortable with but creating that safe environment, where they feel comfortable to try new things.
