In the past year, The Center for Young Women's Development, with your support, achieved the following accomplishments:
- They hired 17 young women for the Sisters Rising 9-month internship. 12 were hired directly out of lock up. 13 graduated from the program in June. - They provided young women in lock-up with 150 hours of self-advocacy training. - They provided case management to 50 young women exiting juvenile hall and adult jail. - They collaborated with local partner Youth Justice Institute to provide 180 hours of onsite Mental Health Therapy to young women in the Sisters Rising program. - They were award funding from the City and County of San Francisco from The Department of Children, Youth & Families to support their core programming. - Sisters Rising alumni testified at a Congressional hearing on Girls in the Juvenile Justice System advocating to increase federal funding for gender-specific programing.
These accomplishments would not be possible without your support. Thank you!
