BEST GIRL-TO-GIRL SUPPORT

"It takes a girl to understand the issues other girls face today regarding relationships, body image, pregnancy, and parents who don't understand, or can't help, or worse, abuse them. It also takes a girl who's worn those shoes to know how to help another girl get where she wants to go. For the past 10 years, the young women who run GirlSource have been training local low-income teens for their future, by teaching them how to build a Web site, digitally edit photos, take leadership roles, and express themselves through writing. The results are impressive. After receiving SAT prep and counseling on all the teen issues that can thwart potential co-eds, most of the girls participating in the program go on to attend college, where GirlSource continues to support them. Some of them come back to offer peer counseling to new girls coming up, thus completing an important cycle in creating better community."
