Letter: Revival/reorganization at Tahoe Youth & Family Services
Submitted by paula on Sun, 09/16/2018 - 6:58pm
To the community: Although I have been on staff with Tahoe Youth & Family Services since January, I still use the word, “new” because we have spent this year rebuilding. We have faced many challenges over the last several years and I truly feel that I am part of this organizations revival, so much of our efforts feel very “new.”
Letter: Community support will help The Girl's Project

Community support is needed to help the girls participating in "The Girl's Project," an empowerment group focusing on the needs of young women in the South Lake Tahoe area.
Tahoe Youth and Family Services started “The Girl’s Project” in 2010 with the vision to empower high risk young girls in our community to become more confident and influential women later in life. The Girl’s Project originally began in three of our local elementary schools, Tahoe Valley Elementary, Sierra House Elementary and Bijou Elementary and has now expanded and includes the South Tahoe Middle School.
Kudos: Tahoe Youth & Family Services and the Girls Project say thank you!

Tahoe Youth & Family Services and the Girls Project would like to say the warmest "Thank you" to the generous donors that contributed to the Girls Project to better help equip girls to meet their future with integrity, self-awareness and will allow this special and much needed program to continue and to grow.
The donations from these amazing community businesses and private donors will allow this program to buy supplies for crafts, snacks, educational field trips but most importantly, help these 150 girls to become future women leaders not only in Lake Tahoe but in our society.
