TechGyrls - The YWCA of the USA launched the YWCA TechGYRLS in 1997 to create opportunities for under served girls to explore the latest technologies in a nurturing, girls only environment. The program encourages girls to delve into computer animation and robotics technologies.
After School Program- The YWCA Gyrls after school program is designed to meet the individual needs of each girl to assist her in maintaining good grades in school, to increase her knowledge in technology and introduce her to potential career choices. Each girl will receive homework and tutoring assistance every day.
Girls in Sports - The Girls in Sports clinic is a great way for young girls to see positive role models in diverse areas of athletics. It has been proven that girls who are involved in sports have a higher self esteem, do better in school and have a decreased risk of being involved with drugs, alcohol and teen pregnancy.
Moms R Us- Throughout the program, each participant receives individualized referrals to whatever assistance she may need. A full array of services to each teen is provided, including job training, employment information and daycare options.
