For Coloured Girls
For Coloured Girls Program assists young black females as they are transitioning throughout life. This program is specifically delivered by our “Big Sisters” and “For-Girls-by-Girls” Initiatives and focuses on youthfulness, mental health, teen pregnancy, home, school, and stress. We also assist with career opportunities, focusing on jobs they have no knowledge about. This program will assist with the development and fostering of young girls’ independence, while providing strategies to cope with any situation they are facing. This program recognizes that half of the problems black girls’ faces are traced to saying "YES" too quickly and not saying "NO" soon enough.
