■ The Program encourages girls to pursue careers based on their personal interests and passion and not based on gender stereotypes that restrict girls from pursuing careers such as those in the sciences and engineering fields. These careers are stereotypically deemed as ‘male-oriented’ careers. We teach them that their voice matters by giving them information and tools that help them to feel confident about their personal choices, bodies, their intelligence, and their worthiness. We also empower teenage moms through educational workshops and skills trainings.

■ Our Teen Mom Program focuses on supporting pregnant and parenting teen mothers, placing emphasis on educating young mothers to be able to thrive independently. We encourage them to pursue their education, provide career guidance, show them how to take healthy care of themselves and their children and teach them how to build healthy relationships.
