Girl Neighborhood Power provides daily after school activities and evening activities including community service projects, exercise, health education, discussion/support sessions, special workshops, field trips to job sites with non-traditional career opportunities, and special weekend family activities. Over 250 girls participate on an annual basis with a daily average participation of 60 girls.
