Trumbull County's Own Diamonds In The Rough Needs Female Volunteers!

Project Description:
Diamonds In The Rough is a non-profit organization providing mentoring programs for middle and high school female youth in the Trumbull County area. The program will form partnerships with juvenile court systems and local school districts. Diamonds In The Rough is to foster a commitment to young ladies that will promote strong interpersonal skills, pro-social friendships, and reassert a sense of hope in the future. Through personal relationships a sense of responsibility will be established that will give the young ladies the commitment to follow through on a path to adulthood that will give them a sense of pride and accomplishment. Diamonds In The Rough is a direct response to the growing number of young females that are falling through the cracks at school, unwed mothers; drugs addicted, high-school drop-outs, or are already entangled with the juvenile justice system. The goal of the program is to identify young females who are going to have a turbulent transition to adulthood and offer a positive support system to avoid the pitfalls that can derail their lives. The focus is slightly different at each level but the goal is the same; empower young females to make positive changes in her life.
