The Club Mission

Our mission is to provide a variety of curated programming that is creative, engaging, educational, motivating, relatable, empowering, cathartic, and fun for teen girls. We strive to create a safe and supportive environment where girls can explore their interests, learn new skills, and build meaningful connections with their peers and mentors.

Through our programs, we aim to keep teen girls out of trouble by providing positive and productive activities that they can participate in. We believe that by offering a diverse range of activities and opportunities, we can inspire and motivate teen girls to stay engaged and connected to their community.

Our programs are designed to be empowering and relatable, with a focus on building self-confidence, self-esteem and self love. We believe that by helping girls to develop these critical life skills, we can set them up for success both in and out of the youth center.

We recognize that the teenage years can be challenging, and our programs are designed to provide a cathartic outlet for girls to express themselves creatively and emotionally. By offering a safe space for girls to explore their feelings and experiences, we hope to promote mental health and wellbeing.

Ultimately, our goal is to create fun and engaging programming that teen girls will want to come back to. By providing a supportive and welcoming environment, we hope to foster a sense of belonging and community among our participants, helping them to develop lifelong connections and friendships.

Divine Assist Mission

Our organization is committed to provide charitable community outreach support for youth, families, and communities through a continuum of programs and services. Empower youth to make positive life choices that enable them to maximize their full potential in order to strengthen communities.

Vision

Our organization is dedicated to providing youth with a safe, supportive and fun environment to grow and thrive. We have a vision of creating a youth recreational center that will provide an opportunity to develop and implement programs that improve the lives of youth, families and communities. We also seek to build partnerships with other organizations to increase the range of support available to those in need. Through our collective efforts, we hope to create a lasting legacy of positive change. Our goal is to open a youth recreational center to better implement and promote programs we offer and activities to enhance the lives of youth, families, and communities. To partner with other organizations to broaden our level of expertise and support made available to youth and families in need. To provide after school programs to aid educational goals, healthy lifestyle choices, social recreation and provide mentorship for the improvement of self-development.

Mentorship

Mentoring children is an incredibly rewarding experience. It can be a great way to give back to the community, gain meaningful work experience, and even build lasting relationships. Through mentoring, children can gain access to resources, educational opportunities, and life skills that will help them become successful adults. Mentoring also teaches children to be better problem solvers and to think more critically, allowing them to make decisions that will have positive impacts on their lives.

Recreation

Children benefit greatly from recreational activities as they allow them to stay healthy and relieve stress. Playing team sports or participating in group activities like dance classes can not only increase physical activity but also provide a sense of belonging and community. Recreational activities can also help children build social skills, learn about the importance of teamwork, and gain confidence. For example, a child playing on a team sport might develop strategies with their teammates to help them achieve success, or a child participating in a music class might learn to perform better with their peers.
