Youth and Teen Recreation Program

This group will be a mentorship style program that is meant to give young girls, in grades 5-8 a sense of self. To get to know the true them. To love every part of who they are physically, mentally and emotionally. We want them to find what they are passionate about and empower them to be everything that they can be!

The goal of this program will be to send its group out to the world with a feeling of empowerment. We want our 'graduates' to think for themselves, be leaders, show bravery and pass this message on. This program is possible through the Essex Power Fund.
