Once labeled shy and withdrawn, fifteen-year-old Daisy has blossomed following her participation in the Girl Power program at the Virginia G. Piper Teen Center at the Harry & Sandy Rosenzweig Branch.
A club member since the age of ten, Daisy was content keeping to herself. When she started having problems transitioning into high school, she turned to the Club for help and enrolled in the Girl Power program.
Daisy says, “Most of the girls that I went to school with or know are either pregnant, into alcohol and drugs, or dead. The Girl Power program is one main factor that helped keep me out of situations like that. I feel that Girl Power is a passage to a place in your life where you can finally be confident and content with yourself.” The Girl Power program has helped Daisy set her personal goals and feel confident that she can achieve them.
