OUR FOUNDATION, OUR PROJECTS, OUR PROGRAM
4 The Girls is a youth mentoring and motivational development program for girls ages 9-17. At 4 The Girls, we understand that adverse childhood experiences such as child abuse, neglect, bullying, family history of suicide, and poverty lead to increased suicidal tendencies in the youth.
Suicide is the second leading cause of death for adolescents ages 15-19 years old.
Every youth participating in 4 The Girls benefits from a foundation of education, community outreach, and a healthy body, mind, and spirit.

4 The Girls mission is to empower girls to be the best "Girl" so they may become assets to themselves, their family, and their community. 4 The Girls is establishing a place for girls to come and get everything she needs mentally, emotionally, socially, educationally, and spiritually ensuring that the barriers set to keep our girls from succeeding are just the motivation they need to be successful.
