OUR Teen Programs

Daughters with a Destiny FGCU College Tour on February 20, 2016

Daughters with a Destiny

Our mission is to transform the lives of at-risk teen girls and prepare them for promising futures through education and jobs. Our goal is to increase college attendance among those who, based on several risk factors, are less likely to succeed academically.

We offer workshops and programs that encourage girls to think bigger, dream higher and be the best that they can be—women of character who are motivated to lead both personally and professionally.

Personal-Development

Personal Development Workshop

The Personal Development Workshop is designed to build girl's self-esteem and capacity for college preparedness, and prepares them for responsible adulthood, economic independence and civic-mindedness. The program meets girls where they are, acknowledging the reality and pressures facing so many of today’s girls.
