Young Daughters' Sisterhood 

A Rites of Passage Experience

for Girls 8-12 years old

​

We have listened to the parents and have taken heed.  Young Daughters' Sisterhood is specifically designed for our younger girls and is both fun and informative.  

Spearheaded by New Yorkers, Shakia Thomas and Nicholl Moore, the program gives your daughter an added boost to her self-esteem and self-awareness.

Our Mission

​

Our mission is to engage young girls in experiences that will help guide them through understanding their emotions, expressing their individuality, developing a positive body image, honoring their diversity and cultivating meaningful relationships.  It is important for our girls to be in environments where they feel safe to be themselves; an environment where they are given opportunities to celebrate who they are and embrace their uniqueness.
