The PINQ project is a mentoring program designed for at-risk girls to grow together as successful African American women. The project will take place bi-weekly at Tanager Place, facilitated by a licensed marriage and family therapist, and will include volunteer mentors from the community. Meetings will feature life topics such as financial literacy, college readiness, cultural awareness, and other subjects that lead to empowerment and self-sufficiency. PINQ girls will be given the opportunity to help plan the next year’s program and become PINQ mentors for the incoming PINQ participants of the next year.
