FAMILY SUPPORT IN COOPERATION WITH THE FEDERAL WAY SCHOOL DISTRICT WE RUN THE GIRLS CIRCLE PROGRAM IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEM. EACH YEAR 160 HIGH-RISK GIRLS, 20 AT-A-TIME, MEET ONCE A WEEK FOR 13 WEEKS TO WORK ON LIFE SKILLS AND DECISION MAKING. WHILE THIS IS PRIMARILY A CLASSROOM ACTIVITY THAT EARNS SOME OF THE GIRLS AN ELECTIVE CREDIT, WE ALSO HAVE A FIELD TRIP TO PRACTICE SOME OF THEIR NEWLY ACQUIRED SKILLS. THE GIRLS CHOSEN FOR THE PROGRAM ARE NOT ONLY HIGH RISK FOR DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL, BUT ARE HIGH RISK FOR INVOLVEMENT WITH GANGS, TEEN PREGNANCY, AND PROSTITUTION. OUR GOAL IS TO HELP THESE GIRLS FINISH SCHOOL AND BECOME POSITIVE CONTRIBUTORS TO OUR COMMUNITY.

OUR PROGRAM HAS BEEN FAVORABLY GRADED BY THEM, AND WE CONTINUE TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO HAVE THE MOST EFFECTIVE PROGRAM POSSIBLE.
