THE VILLAGE WORKS
Dear Girls Academy, Inc's mission is to break cycles of domestic violence, homelessness and poverty. Closing the educational, opportunity and literacy gap is our objective. Nurturing the social and emotional wellness while providing a space where girls are able to practice using the power of their voices is our awesome sauce!

​
It takes a village to invest in the state of girls and together, we can increase the amount of girls who have the opportunity break cycles of domestic violence, homelessness and poverty.
WAYS TO GIVE
Dear Girls is devoted to providing direct services and mentorship to teen girls with emotional, social and financial adversities with a mission to break cycles of domestic violence, incarceration, homelessness and poverty.
