Teen ATTITUDE gave Emily the
opportunity to meet young women her own age. It was her only time with peers
who didn’t have developmental disabilities. Teen Attitude helped her find
friends during a difficult time of transition. The young women at Teen Attitude
learned that they have a lot in common despite different levels of abilities. -- from her sister, Amy
You can help other teen girls learn about friendship and socialization TODAY and it will be matched dollar for dollar when you give at http://www.roctheday.org/ThePietersFamilyLifeCenter.
Teen ATTITUDE is a peer to peer program that pairs
teen girls with and without disabilities for mutual support and friendship at the Pieters Family Life Center.
ATTITUDE stands for: Awareness Teamwork Trusting Independence Together
Understanding Differences for Empowerment.
As a peer to peer social group for teenage girls, we
energize the CAPABILITIES of all participants by providing activities that
encourage fun and friendship. In a nurturing environment we support and
assist one another with unleashing each other’s highest potential.
