More Programs. More Togetherness.

More Success.

The more Girl Power does… The more our girls enjoy and embrace life.

Girl Power takes the needs and desires of every girl serious so that we can provide programs and activities that create healthy, smart, strong and active girls. Using the "The Girls Report: What We Know & Need to Know about Growing Up Female" (commissioned by National Council for Research on Women) as a guide – along with input from parents, students, and community leaders – the following Girl Power programs were developed to empower young girls to get more out of life.

Alternative to Suspension Program

Offered to girls who have been placed on two or more days of out-of-school suspension. Girls are required to attend a minimum of six additional weeks of program activities after completing their out-of-school suspension.

Program activities may include:
Journal writing; conflict resolution and reconciliation; life skills; fitness/exercise; yoga/meditation; alcohol/substance abuse education; community service projects; individual, group and family counseling sessions as needed.

Post Arrest Diversion Program

Serves girls 17 and under who have been arrested for non-violent offenses and are under the jurisdiction of the Department of Juvenile Justice (DJJ). These girls participate in an eight-week educational and intervention program.

Program activities may include:
Work readiness; life skills training; character development and citizenship; health and wellness; individual and group counseling (including treatment plans and parent/guardian workshops).

Parent Support Groups

These meetings are held once a month to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential outlet for parents to share with their peers who have gone through similar experiences.

Group support services includes:
Resources; speakers; information and literature not readily available outside of the group; provides the opportunity for the formation of new supportive relationships that may exist outside of the group framework.
