Empowering Girls to Be Fearless

Encouraging teen girls to complete high school is important because dropouts earn lower wages than graduates, which can become a barrier to long-term self-sufficiency. We value girls and seek to build a community that values girls as full participants.

InterCept

InterCept is a leadership program for at-risk girls in Harrison School District Two that teaches girls to make healthy life choices. This school-based prevention program for 8th through 12th grade girls focuses on building leadership skills and positive relationships by addressing such topics as:

Depression, Suicide and Self-Injury
Goal Setting
Substance Abuse
Anger Management
Relational Aggression / Bullying between girls
Intimate Partner Violence / Domestic Violence
Healthy Relationships
Nutrition and Wellness
Abstinence-Based Sex Education
Community Resources
And more!

The program begins with weekly group meetings and guest speakers. Our high-school program focuses on community service-learning projects and monthly presentations on topics of interest to the girls.

Intercept Too

InterCept Too is an intervention program for girls in the juvenile justice system who are referred by other agencies as part of their sentencing. Our program meets the sentencing requirements for Municipal Teen Court and the 4th Judicial District Probation and Diversion Programs.

Girls are referred through:

The Colorado Springs Teen Court
The 4th Judicial District Probation
Senate Bill 94
El Paso County Department of Human Services
Adult and Juvenile Offenders Service
And self-referrals, as space permits

Eight weekly group sessions are offered from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. A $100 non-refundable fee is assessed for the program; financial assistance may be available.
