Overview:
Bethany Brethren Community Center (BBCC) is a small church-based social service agency located in East Garfield Park serving primarily children and teen girls in after-school programs. In order to re-establish Girls Transitioning to Women (GTW), BBCC conducted a needs assessment. Yolanda Moore, the coordinator of the teen girls’ program, was awarded a CURL Community Fellowship and worked closely with CURL to train the girls to conduct the survey and analyze the results.
Outcome:
The young girls participating in GTW presented their experiences of the research at the CURL Friday Morning Seminar in March, 2001. The final outcome was a report, “Needs Assessment for Girls Transitioning to Women, a Program of the Bethany Brethren Community Center.”
