All About Us
Our Mission
The Circle of SistAhood is a non profit 501 3(c) mentorship program designed to influence teenage girls (ages 12y/o and up) in breaking difficult barriers, creating safe spaces to grow, and producing visions for positive change. We are a resource that provides a supportive network for families, parent engagement, financial literacy, community education, skill and team building, financial literacy, peer social skills, community outreach, and overall increasing awareness by breaking the stigma for mental health. We are here to build community partnerships and give the youth within the community an accessible outlet resource.
Our Purpose
The Circle of SistAhood is a non profit youth mentorship program. Our purpose is to promote prosocial youth activities, self esteem building curriculum, and teaching principles that will encourage the increase of growth, financial education, leadership, and reinforcing skill sets; ultimately while decreasing the silence and breaking the stigma barriers of mental health in our communities. We are strong advocates for sustaining a community culture of healing minds and restoring souls.
The Vision
The Circle of SistAhood's vision stemmed from the lack of many unavailable resources for teen girl's mentorship. Mental health is growing and many teens are left in the dark on how to navigate through life. This program is design to not only help teens overcome life stressors, but to help their families as well.

IT'S FRIYAY GIVING
Help us reach our goals
Each year in the summer, we link up and take 10-20 teen girls to visit a Community College or University. This experience allows the girls to receive direct college exposure, the ability to engage in asking questions related to their career, and increase self awareness for their future. Please help us to reach our goal for our upcoming 2024 College Tour!!!
We Greatly Appreciate You!!!
SHE READY GOALS
The Circle of SistAhood is looking to grow within the Southern Sector of the DFW, primarily in the Ellis County area. With your generous thoughts and donations, you will assist the organization with the current challenges to include lack of funding for projects, future teen events such as conferences, summer programming, and college tours.The funding will also assist with funding for building needs to hold bimonthly meetings, supplies, community outreach projects and assistance with funding our parenting program to increase family stability. Our focus is to mitigate the personal and development challenges teen girls face while supporting their major needs and increasing families’ strengths. With our organization recently starting, our current request to assist with the needs of supplies, food, financial education, and projects for health and wellness.
We appreciate your time, efforts and generosity!!
