Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Family Services for Adolescent Parents, Single Parent Agencies, Youth Development
Mission: To provide girls and young women with the knowledge, strengths, and skills required for their physical, emotional, economic, and social well-being.
Programs: Crittenton empowers teen girls to overcome obstacles, make positive choices, and achieve their goals through programs in schools in the greater washington area. Through the experiences our programs provide, girls learn to recognize and value their gifts and develop invaluable life and leadership skills. The organization has designed various curriculums and workshops to educate young girls from low income families on reproductive health and career preparation planning. Most importantly, they attain a belief in their ability to succeed, even in challenging situations. The results are life-changing; crittenton girls are staying in school, avoiding pregnancy, graduating from high school, and going on to college and finding jobs.
