Afro Puffs and Ponytails is constantly searching for information about camps, clubs and organizations, and mentoring programs to provide as resources for parents and community organizers. It is our hopes that each resource provided will serve to build confidence, enhance self esteem, develop leadership skills, empower, uplift and educate our African American girls. We are not recommending these programs, but offering a starting point for you to conduct your own evaluation and research about whether a program is right for your child.

    Hello, I am apart of two new non-profit organizations(Hood 180 and Youth Helping Youth) in Atlanta that are geared towards providing resources for the youth and community. We are trying to host a huge community event for all neighborhoods, businesses, and community organizations/resources to come together to promote and have an open forum about solutions for our community and recent issues in the news. We want to include all types of people and provide them with knowledge and resources to better our community. We are fairly new and looking for organizations to set up tables and if someone to help us reserve Piedmont Park green space.

    Sincerely,

    Valeria Gore

    May I help your girls, please? I am a Spiritual Life Coach with an interest in our young girls. I’d like to help them with self esteem, with clarifying their visions for their futures and with their confidence in either individual or group sessions. At this time I can offer free coaching sessions for girls 12 – 21. If you are interested please contact me by email and I will be happy to discuss my services.

    Thank you.
