Description
Blossom on Butterfly Wings, Inc. (BOBW) is a mentorship organization that offers preventive programming for young girls between the ages of 8 - 13. BOBW was founded in 2008. However, the concept blossomed four years ago, when the founder began creating personal care packages for young girls beginning their journey into womanhood. The care packages were a tool used to alleviate any concerns or fears the young girls would have about the many changes they would experience through their journey. These young ladies were encouraged to no longer see themselves as girls, but as young ladies on the verge of womanhood who are full of respect, self-worth, and beauty.
BOBW offers programs to build self-esteem, positive body-image, money management, community involvement, and the prevention of high risk teen behavior. BOBW also offers programs to help foster positive and healthy relationships, primarily between mothers and daughters.
