Our Mission
The GIRLS Project (TGP) is on a mission to develop the needs of girls in three age groups- ages 8 to 21- through dynamic sessions, participatory activities, field trips and mentoring opportunities with adult women.
Projects
Recycling Drive
During the Recycling Drive-Thru Events, we encourage citizens to stop by to recycle old electronics, dispose of household hazardous waste in an environmentally friendly manner, shred any sensitive documents safely and securely onsite, and donate lightly used clothing. Any electronic item that has a plug or takes batteries is eligible to be recycled. Residents can drop off their household hazardous waste (ex: paint cans, pool chemicals, compact fluorescent light bulbs, cleaners, oils, batteries, and household pesticides). Items such as medical waste, ammunition and tires WILL NOT be accepted at this event. Residents are also encouraged to bring any large boxes or pieces of cardboard to the event and the Treasure Our Youth will ensure they get recycled properly.
In addition, Residents can drop off their "lightly/gently used" clothing (men's, women's and children's) which will be donated to youth in need. The process is quick and easy. As a result of the collection events, The G.I.R.L.S Project has collected and diverted 8,429 pounds of electronic and household hazardous waste, clothing, and sensitive documents from entering the landfills. The Recycling Drive-Thru collection events are organized through Treasure Our Youth and in partnership with local churches, schools, and organizations departments.

"Being a part of The GIRLS Project has bettered things for me and my situation. I'm able to make friends, help the community, and also develop some skills to take with me as I mature and grow into an adult. I would highly recommend girls my age and even younger to be a part of the movement. The GIRLS Project is going to go very far and will leave a great, positive, and impressive impact on the community."
-Aayla Amoy Roberts, TGP Member
Empower Young Girls Through Your Helpful Contributions
Your gift will help The GIRLS Project expand its programs, projects, and provide them with the neccessary tools to take on the community. This expansion will allow TGP to accept more girls into the club to explore their personal and societal attitudes and values as they build skills and develop positive relationships with peers and adults.
