OUR GOALS
Empower girls to foster their self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-respect by offering life-changing and thought-provoking programs and activities.
Empower girls to set positive life goals and chart paths to a healthy and productive lifestyle by surrounding them with positive adult and peer motivation and mentoring.
Empower girls to graduate from high school and pursue a college education or training by offering them activates such as college tours.
Empower girls to foster their social and emotional well-being by offering them skills and tools to communicate effectively with peers, parents, and other adults.
Empower girls to learn how to “give back” by offering them community service opportunities.
Empower parents and caregivers through a support network to lead and guide girls to a healthy and productive lifestyle.
Empower communities to improve the well being of girls through collaborating and networking.
We do these by applying Christian principles to our work with girls.
WHY IS OUR TEACHING BASED ON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES?
In May of 2013, The National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy published an Article entitled “Tips to Help Faith Leaders and Their Communities Address Teen Pregnancy.” It stated that research shows that religious faith and a strong moral sense play important roles in protecting young people from teen pregnancy and other risky behavior.
Among teens that haven’t had sex, the primary reason cited is their religion or morals. It also stated that 75% of teens and 73% of adults say that religious leaders and groups should be doing more to help prevent teen pregnancy.
