The Girl Blue Project - a center founded to re-educate, motivate and empower teen girls, 14 to 18 years old, in Los Angeles County.

Summer classes foster a creative environment that promotes discipline, structure, accountability, self-respect, self-acceptance and empowerment through a curriculum of classes in yoga, performing arts, health education, financial education, social skills and self-awareness.
