Our annual Prom Gown Giveaway, launched in 2016, has grown to serve at least 1,200 middle and high school girls, helping them celebrate their milestones with confidence. We empower young people with essential skills for success by teaching self-love, discipline, and teamwork through a range of programs that blend art, history, and life skills. In partnership with organizations like the Department of Employment Services, we also provide valuable work experience through the Mayor Marion S. Barry Summer Youth Employment Program, offering jobs to 200 youth. Our inclusive approach extends to individuals on the autism spectrum, and our programs include Career Development, Visual Arts, Healthy Cooking, and First Aid certification, all designed to foster growth and well-being.
