The 1 Year to Empowerment program, operating under The Child & Family Foundation Inc., was created in 2014. I Year to Empowerment is a FREE, Year-long wellness program designed to improve self-esteem, self-respect, and self-reliance in teenage girls on the Lower Eastern Shore.
The 1 Year to Empowerment program celebrated 10 years of EMPOWERING local girls in June 2024!
Every year, Empowerees participate in engaging, hands-on, and empowering activities throughout the program year. Activities include: aerial yoga and meditation, self-defense and boxing workshops, learning how to change a tire and perform car maintenance, a CPR/first aid and babysitting certification course, a career day, and building a wheelchair ramp for a community member in need. We also engage in several career-focused activities such as personal finance, college tours, and visiting women-owned business.
