Overview:

G.R.O.W. Girls Reflecting Our World (GROW) is a community-based preventative youth guidance girl’s mentorship program focused on building community-youth-police relationship building. This program specifically focuses on middle to high school aged girls who live in and or attend school in the inner city of Boston. We focus on middle school aged girls as a core and support them into the transition into high school. Girls Reflecting Our World was created with the purpose of providing experiences and opportunities for young girls to carry with them throughout their lifetime by teaching life skills, social skills and over-all character-building opportunities. The program focuses on promoting self-esteem building, leadership building, problem solving, interpersonal skills, growth and mentorship. The main goal of the program is to support, inspire, and mentor young people as they transition from their formative years to young adulthood and create, provide and encourage opportunities otherwise not available to them as inner-city young girls. As this program grows, we continue to foster and grow those relationships not just with the youth but the families as well, which allows us to change the experience of not just the youth but the families’ experiences and impressions of law enforcement.
