CURRICULUM
At Teens With Purpose, we are dedicated to impacting the lives of teen girls in the Cleveland, Ohio, area. Our organization for teen girls helps them develop social skills, build a commitment to the community, and gain the tools they need to succeed in life.
Back To The Basics
Back to the Basics is a program that we utilize to teach teen girls the proper fundamentals of etiquette. We talk with them about their daily activities and how they can be improved. We teach them the essentials like home economics, economic literacy, and hygiene.
Monthly Workshops
As part of our Back to the Basics program, we host monthly workshops. From September through May, we give our girls a chance to come together and discuss their progress. We offer the girls a chance to participate in community outreach projects.

Getting Involved With The Community
When people are given the opportunity to help the less fortunate, they are able to better identify their own personality and positive character traits. At Teens With Purpose, we want our girls to be outstanding citizens, so we organize community service projects, such as feeding the needy.
Exit Presentations
At the end of the program, we give these teen girls the chance to present everything they learned. This exit presentation is their chance to show us what they are taking away from the program and how they can apply it to their lives.
