BIO Girls is a small to mid-sized nonprofit based in Fargo, North Dakota, operating a program for girls in grades 2-6 called BIO (Beautiful, Inside and Out). The program weaves life-skills education, small-group mentoring, and physical activity to support personal development and self-worth. Founded in 2013, the organization has expanded to sites across the Midwest, including North Dakota, Minnesota, South Dakota, and Iowa. A 2018 independent study using a validated assessment tool reported improvements in overall quality of life, self-esteem, emotional well-being, physical well-being, and home and school life among participants. In early 2026, the Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Dakota Caring Foundation partnered with BIO Girls to support initiatives focused on mental health and self-esteem in adolescent girls.
