The objective of the YW-Teens is to enroll interested girls between the ages of 12 to 19 to enhance their development through empowerment courses and shared experiences for success in todayʼs world
All programs are free and available to teen girls in the Greater Baton Rouge area and surrounding communities. Every effort is made in our outreach and promotion to ensure all teen girls, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, gender, disability, family status or national origin, are aware of the services and can apply and participate. Our outcomes are measured through pre- and post- evaluations.
