Intervention and training program for 4th-12th grade girls teaching them to know and love themselves and developing in them life skills so they can and fulfill their God-given purpose. We meet with them weekly from August to June. We end each year with a cotillion in which we secure formal dresses, a beautician, etc. for them to be honored as princesses, to show what they have learned for the year, to honor our graduating high school seniors as debutantes and award them with college or trade school scholarships and provide summer job placement and mentoring until age 25 or self-sufficiency (whichever comes first).  After end of the year programming, we meet food, clothing and hygiene needs throughout the Summer months to our youth who lack support for their basic needs being met outside of the school year.

Held every first Saturday in August, this event, now in its 18th year, is one the oldest and largest back to school events in the city. It is designed to provide children and families of Avondale and surrounding communities with everything they need to have a successful start to the school year. We share the love of Christ to our community by giving students Pre-K through 12th grade a back pack full of school supplies and a wealth of health and safety information.
