Once labeled shy and withdrawn, Daisy has blossomed following her participation in the Girl Power program at the Virginia G. Piper Teen Center at the Harry & Sandy Rosenzweig Branch.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. 

For some youth, the best way to develop a positive self-identity is by participating in a safe environment with caring adults and a group of understanding peers.

The Health and Life Skills core program provides these opportunities by developing young people's capacity to engage in positive behaviors that help nurture their own well-being, set personal goals, and acquire the skills to live successfully as self-sufficient adults. 

Girl Power has helped Daisy unlock her potential. For many kids, improving their oral health or receiving a warm meal everyday at the Club is what makes a dramatic change in their lives. The Health & Life Skills core program is offered to youth through health and nutrition outreach, fitness programs, and peer discussion groups that help youth successfully resist gangs and resolve conflicts. Some of those programs include

Dave Pratt Dental Clinic - A Crest Healthy Smiles Shoppe	Girl Power/Passport to Manhood (gender specific programs)
