Testimonial

"PRAHD has helped both my kids in so many ways. When my oldest daughter went she would never want to leave! She always had a blast and such a fun time. The counselors always made sure her work was done and if she needed help they would be quick to assist her. My children were always fed well and had so much fun. Her bond with some of the counselors were so amazing and they’ve taught her so much! PRAHD is a big part of who she is today. Now my youngest son is enrolled in PRAHD and has been for 3 years. He also has a great time there and has a great bond with the other children and the counselors. PRAHD has became a great support system for me and means so much to my family. I’m very grateful for PRAHD and what they have done for my children."

Entre Mujeres

Entre Mujeres is an after-school program geared towards girls ages 14-18. Entre Mujeres focuses on teaching our students about leadership, civic responsibility and community service, cultural identity and empowerment.

Being a part of this group was honestly one of the best decisions I could’ve made. I heard about this program through a friend who was attending and I thought I’d check it out. This group has really helped with ways to keep up with my mental health. It’s shown me how important it is to take care of ourselves. This program has also helped me with learning about women’s rights and how to advocate for them. I try to use what I’ve learned to educate others and help them understand that women are the future.
