This organization is one of the rare few that cater to at-risk girls, ages 10-19 of all races...they never turn a girl away. Every program is specifically designed to give the participants a different perspective on relevant issues such as teen dating violence, life skills, job preparation, etc. They believe in remaining active in the community and partnering with other organizations, which instills a sense of team work and synergy within the organization. I've volunteered with this organization since 2008 and I still highly recommend it to any teen girl today!! As social/economic issues change, the program continues to edit, revise and innovate to move forward, continuing to effectively reach their population. Awesome!!
