| Walk-in
Clients
Alternatives
For Girls operates a Resource Center for walk-in clients Monday
through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Any girl or young woman in
crisis may walk in and sit down to discuss her situation in private.
Qualified staff
will determine if a walk-in client is eligible for AFG services.
If eligible for the shelter, and a bed is available, the client
will be housed immediately. If beds are not available or the client
is ineligible for any reason, the client will be referred to other
reputable agencies.
Walk-in clients
have access to a private shower and laundry facilities. They also
have access to the AFG Clothes Closet, which is stocked with gently
used donated clothing.
The center
is stocked with pamphlets and brochures on a wide variety of subjects
(e.g., pregnancy and prenatal care, HIV/AIDS and other sexually
transmitted diseases and suicide).
Crisis Line
The Resource Center also manages the AFG Crisis Line. Girls
and young women in crisis may call (888) AFG-3919 at any time.
