“The Center is the only place I feel comfortable being myself. They have taught me how to be a better person and a better mother. The support I receive from CYWD staff is priceless. I want to stay in Sisters Rising as long as I can.” Denise, 17
Denise was introduced to our program through a parenting class offered by the Center for Young Women’s Development. She was 17, pregnant and looking for something positive in her life. She also needed some financial support. When she came to the Center, everyone quickly got to know her. Denise is a doer. She immediately stepped in to volunteer whenever the opportunity arose.
When she saw that there was an opening in Sisters Rising she applied and was accepted. Her supervisor can still remember her walking up to her, 8 months pregnant to ask for a job. Denise got that job and has been a great asset to the Center as well as mother of her 1 month old son Sincere.
