  • work collaboratively with other girls to develop a space where everyone feels welcome and respected

  • learn, grow and share in a non-judgmental environment supported by professional staff

  • build skills, including leadership, teamwork, self-reliance, increased independence, self-awareness and positive self-esteem

  • connect with the community in a variety of volunteer roles.

PCR Dudes Club 

Project Child Recovery - better known as PCR Dudes Club - is a fun, free empowerment and leadership program for any person who identifies as a boy from ages 8-14, especially those who have witnessed or experienced trauma such as family violence, substance abuse, grief and loss, and bullying. PCR Dudes Club offers them a safe place to celebrate the fact that they are one-of-a-kind. Programming promotes healthy coping strategies for children and youth, builds self-esteem, and allows youth to explore their passions and gifts while ensuring they have access to support, recreational opportunities, and positive role models.
