About Us

Our Mission:


Project:Rose is dedicated to the mission of helping young girls from the projects, or inner-city, understand that being from the "ghetto" is simply a footnote in the stories of their lives, and not a definition of who they are, or what they are capable of achieving.


Our goal is to inspire them to dream big, and to set and accomplish goals that make their dreams reality. We encourage their love of self and community through civic and educational activities.
