The Glass Slipper Academy

that vulnerable, ill-served young women – even those who carry a decade of inadequate services and poor behavior – can transform their lives when support is delivered comprehensively, consistently and in ways that respect their voices and build on their strengths. The Glass Slipper Academy prepares adolescent girls in foster-care for independent and productive, successful futures. The following is a sampling of the various skills learned:
- Leadership
- Teamwork
- Communication skills
- Goal-setting
- Budgeting/money-management
- Conflict Resolution
- Problem solving
- Organizational skills
- Meal planning & nutrition

The interaction that naturally occurs in our Hospitality House and Boutique, as well as the exposure to positive role models in an on-the-job setting provides the ideal learning laboratory. The behavioral, social and emotional skills that girls develop will serve them for a lifetime.
