THE RAW GROUP PROGRAM IS MORE THAN JUST A PROGRAM. IT’S A NETWORK OF MENTORS AND MENTEES WHO SUPPORT EACH OTHER, LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, AND CELEBRATE EACH OTHER. WE PROVIDE WORKSHOPS, ACTIVITIES, EVENTS, AND RESOURCES THAT HELP GIRLS EXPLORE THEIR STRENGTH, INTEREST, AND PASSIONS. WE ALSO HELP THEM COPE WITH STRESS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, AND TRAUMA. WE TEACH THEM HOW TO LOVE THEMSELVES, RESPECT THEMSELVES, AND EXPRESS THEMSELVES.

TO INSPIRE YOUNG GIRLS TO REACH THEIR FULLEST POTENTIAL BY PROVIDING THEM WITH THE SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, AND RESOURCES NECESSSARY FOR THEIR JOURNEY TO ADULTHOOD AND SUCCESS.

IS TO FORM LIFE LONG BONDS OF SISTEROOD!

INSPIRE TO MOTIVATE, ACHIEVE, GROW, INTERVENE AND NATURALLY ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO DESIRE CHANGE!

AS YOU FACE LIFE’S CHALLENGES

AND GO ABOUT YOUR DAY

A SISTER WHO YOU DO NOT KNOW.

IS SENDING LOVE YOUR WAY.

AND AS THE DAY TURNS INTO NIGHT

AND YOU LAY DOWN TO REST

A SISTER WHO YOU’VE NEVER MET

IS PRAYING YOU’LL BE BLESSED.

NOT OUT OF PITY OR SYMPATHY

BUT OUT OF A LOVE THAT’S TRUE.

AN ARMY OF SISTERS, SIDE BY SIDE

WITH THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR YOU.

BE ENCOURAGED!

BY CASS HENDERSON

YOU KNOW, YOU DO NEED MENTORS, BUT IN THE END, YOU REALLY JUST NEED TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

I AM CHANGING THE THINGS I CANNOT ACCEPT

EVEN IF IT MAKES OTHERS UNCOMFORTABLE.
