About SNEAKERS

SNEAKERS groups for teen woman are the foundation of the work of the Crittenton Services of Greater Washington (CSGW). We share the belief that a consistent and positive presence in a teen’s life yields the best results. For over 20 years, CSGW has offered weekly group meetings throughout the Metropolitan Washington area to eighth grade through high school teen women.

 

Program Details

The SNEAKERS program provides a long term investment in teen women. Groups of 15 girls meet with a qualified and experienced CSGW program leader at their schools. Discussion topics include academic, career, and life opportunities, emotional support, decision making, healthy behavior skill building, sexuality education and goal-setting around school, work, and life.

 

Providing Opportunities

In addition to the in-school program, girls from SNEAKERS are invited to educational events, college tours, speaker series, and other opportunities throughout their middle and high school years. Out-of-school activities reinforce the SNEAKERS focus on setting goals, building skills, and providing positive real life experiences for teen women during their formative years.
