MYGIFT Program, Inc. was founded in August 2007, because of my determination to not be part of the problem, but to be part of the solution to save young girls from lack of confidence and low self-esteem that could ultimately lead to their self-destruction. I could never thank all the women that have made a positive impact in my life, so I decided that the best way to honor them was to create a mentoring program that would touch the lives of young girls that may be going through some of the same situations that I experienced when I was a young girl.
It was important that MYGIFT be a unique program, one that teaches “real” life skills, because young girls need to have at least one older and wiser female to talk to, in a safe and comfortable environment where they can share their feelings, fears and accomplishments. Most of all it’s important for young girls to have someone to go to for advice, before they make life changing decisions about their future.
