COMPLETING SCHOOL & PREPARING FOR COLLEGE

71% of high school dropouts come from fatherless homes. Education is the key to change life’s trajectory. Tutoring reduces the achievement gap and enhances our young women’s development.

HELPING GIRLS KNOW THEY ARE NOT ALONE

Peer groups enable girls to be their authentic selves in a creative environment. When girls or a sisterhood can voice their ideas and opinions in a safe place it allows them to strengthen their critical thinking skills, elevate their confidence, and boost their self-esteem.

HELPING MOTHERS & PARENTAL FIGURES

Nearly 20 million children live in single-family homes. Bloom recognizes the importance of family and helps connect families to vital community resources to empower and encourage them to a path of independence.
