| Unique
Programs That Work
Alternatives For Girls delivers three key services to homeless
and high-risk girls and young women: AFG Prevention; the AFG Shelter;
and AFG Outreach. From the Rise-N-Shine Summer Program to the Transition
to Independent Living Program and the Safe Choices Project, AFG
programming is designed to address both the immediate and long-term
needs of program participants, empower them to seek and make positive
choices, and effect lasting and meaningful change in their lives.
Qualified
Staff
AFG employs more than 45 highly-qualified, full-time staff
members who deliver services to participants or manage administrative
concerns (Development, Finance, Support Operations) that enable
us to deliver services.
Volunteers
Who Care
More than 300 volunteers have signed up to help Alternatives
For Girls accomplish its mission. These generous people give their
time, talents, energy and expertise to a number of projects, programs
and initiatives. From serving on the AFG Board of Directors to teaching
workshops, managing our Web site, stuffing envelopes and helping
out with special events, volunteers provide a needed source of support
to AFG.
Financial
Support
Fifty
percent of funding for Alternatives For Girls’ programs is
provided by federal, state, county and municipal government sources.
Another 25 percent comes from private foundations. Corporations
and individual donors contribute the final 25 percent. AFG also
receives in-kind contributions, including the donation of services
(e.g., printing and graphic design), materials and equipment (e.g.,
computers, arts and crafts supplies, books), clothing and much more.
