Why Our Programs Are Important
A Safe and Supportive Community
The Power of You Teens focuses on helping girls between the ages of 11 to 17, the important development ages when they are learning to build self-esteem, confidence and how to make smart and healthy decisions.
We ensure our PowerGirls are confident, college bound and career ready so they can become the next generation of community leaders. By preparing them for a bright future, we all rise. Join us in our mission!
Education Inequality
Girls from low-income neighborhoods are often denied high quality education. Over 60% of girls of color are born to families living on low incomes.
