How We Do It
Through our peer support groups for girls, our multigenerational facilitation teams provides girls a safe-space to bloom into themselves. With Social Emotional Learning embedded into our research-based curriculum, we open their eyes to new possibilities and support their version of success.
PEARLS Groups
We offer girls guidance to recognize their own power: that they are responsible for their choices and they they have unique gifts they can use to create their own futures.
We share concrete strategies for setting and achieving their goals, as well as support from adults, and connections to educational, pre-career, health and more resources.
College and Career Readiness
Mentoring is a vital for our youth so in addition to group support and college and career counseling, we connect our high school girls with professional volunteers in the community. These volunteers support PEARLS girls with one-on-one support and build transformational personal relationships.
