Overview
Mission
Our mission is dedicated to empowering teenage girls, women, and incarcerated women facing mental health challenges by fostering improved self-esteem and confidence through community support, educational programs, workshops, and resources that promote resilience and enhance self-worth. Our vision is to create a world where all girls and women feel supported, empowered, and equipped to navigate life's challenges
What it reported doing in 2025
Resilience Building Workshops and Peer Support Groups: interactive workshops teaching coping mechanisms, mindfulness techniques, and positive psychology strategies. Facilitated group sessions, providing safe spaces for individuals to share experiences and build a supportive community. These workshops were offered to various groups, including teenage girls, students, women, community mothers, and school directors and teaching staff. We also provided free facilitated peer support group sessions to high school and college students to create a safe and supportive environment for discussing mental health challenges, sharing experiences, and building coping skills. During the year, we conducted 16 sessions and workshops at the following locations: Loyola-Marymount University, 100 Black Men of Los Angeles, Greater Emanuel Temple Church, OMG Organization, Village Arts Theater, and Shields for Families, reaching 750 participants and students who reported increased feelings of connection and improved strategies for managing stress, improved personal confidence, improved self-awareness and overall well-being.
Operating model
- Revenue model
- Donor-supported. 94% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
- Distribution model
- Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.
The verdict
MIXED - The filed numbers largely add up and revenue comfortably covers expenses. A relatively small share of available resources goes toward mission work and a relatively small share of voting board members are independent.
