Hello from the Lower Eastside Girls Club,
Fall is here and our programs are in full swing! We now have over 75 mentors paired with girls through our mentoring programs: Museum Club, Crafty Chicas, Book Club and College and Career Prep. Also, every day after school and on Saturdays, Girls Club members are participating in free arts, leadership development, technology, literacy and job training programs.
These programs are made possible through the generosity of countless individuals who donate their time, talents and money.
As we approach the holiday season, we hope that you will remember to keep Girls Club on your "list." Please join us at our upcoming benefit events which will help us raise much-needed funds to continue these fun and fabulous programs.-The Lower Eastside Girls Club
