Goals and Objectives

Our goal is the Prevention and Intervention of behavioral, social and emotional problems in the young girls aged 6-18 whom we serve and all of whom have these elements of risk in their lives. By providing young girls with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed and by building and promoting a fair and equitable society, we can positively influence the lives of those we serve.

Values and Ideology

We believe that by offering well developed research based programming and innovative opportunities to the girls and young women we serve, we are able to change the systems within which girls and young women function and create an equitable society where all women are inspired to be strong, smart and bold.

We believe that girls have the same opportunity for success; education, personal achievement and access to services as anyone else and our organization will endeavour to deliver those opportunities to them. Girls have a right to be themselves and to resists gender sterotypes. The involvement of a girls or young women in our programs will be a reqrding and positive experience designed to allow girls to grow with confidence, openness and appreciation for who they are, where they come from and what they are capable of.

As a formal commitment to what we believe, we have created advocacy statements on the following; gender equity, diversity. Inclusion of girls with disabilities, advocacy, citizenship and reproductive freedom, substance use and abuse HIV/AIDS, a safer world for girls, juvenile justice, child abuse and neglect, education, math, science and technology and economic independence. These advocacy statements are the base upon which al programs and services are developed.
