Nurturing Hearts is an organization that provides leadership and life skills, which furnish and prepare at risk teenage girls, between the ages of 10-18, in the inner city for a bright and positive future. We empower young women to have productive futures through holistic, gender specific programs, educations and experiences that are unique to young women. Nurturing Hearts is committed to community building, establishing relationships with social service providers, churches, school, law enforcement and citizens groups. We broker these services based on the individual needs of each girl and her family. We develop self-sufficient adults, equipped with the capacity to continuously evolve emotionally, physically, and spiritually; building strong family units, developing a strong support system and contributing to community life.


Dominique Kafando struggled to stay in school just 12 months ago. The Central Career and Technical School student had D's and F's on her report card, and had been assigned to Central's alternative-education school. "I was missing a lot of classes," said Kafando, 18. "I didn't care much about school." A teacher referred Kafando to Nurturing Hearts, a local nonprofit organization that provides leadership and life skills for teenage girls.
