why we're doing it
Led by Create a Healthier Niagara Falls co-chair and lifelong resident Keyona Dunn, this mentoring program came out of a desire to improve the Niagara Falls community, beginning with the youth. With many alarming local statistics on high teen pregnancy and high school dropout rates, Keyona felt the need to tackle the problem through mentoring young girls. Though she is starting small with a group of 10 girls, the goal is to build very strong foundational relationships with a starting cohort that will then become teachers and peer mentors to more youth in the future.
