Girls’ Development & Empowerment

Adolescent & Teenage girls today are exposed to a variety of negative factors that make them more at risk to poor mental and physical health, academic failure or injury. Most affected those without strong family support systems &  knowledge (life skills) on how to deal with different challenges. Additionally, African American girls also have to deal with challenges of gender inequities ,as well as  systematic racism in all sectors of the society.

While  technology advancement has made most things easier, it has also amplified some of the struggles young girls face as most lack the essential interpersonal skills to interact well in the society or lack the confidence /trust to seek help when faced with mental, emotional or physical stress.

The goal of this program is to empower young girls with skills on how to navigate through the daily challenges as well as the resources they need to achieve their future professional goals, interests and life aspirations. The program includes:

  • An enrichment & guidance program focusing on pertinent topics (e.g. Dating, friendship, parental challenges, peer pressure, etc.)
  • Enrichment program focusing on education, wellness, self image, success and spiritual enrichments
  • Self-development to build life skills and self-esteem, efficacy & confidence.
  • Essential skills & resources to prepare for college, career and family life.
  • Strategies to interact and live in harmony with people from different cultural backgrounds/races and do deal with racism and racial injustice.

This program also supports at-risk girls through provision of essential items.
