The Nonprofit Podcast The Nonprofit Podcast - Ep 6 Dream On Purpose
Aren’t dreams of the future what youth should be about? Shareen Baptiste thinks so, so when she realized high school girls didn’t have the confidence to do this, she stepped right up. Today she talks to Jena Lynch about the 5-year journey she and her Dream On Purpose co-founder Joanne Karagnara have been on since that moment, promoting informed, safe and healthy choices that strengthen parental relationships and serve as a connector to higher education and scholarship opportunities.
Between elementary and high schools young girls’ self-esteem drops 3.5 times more than boys! Dream On Purpose, a Florida-based nonprofit empowers American girls 18 and younger, to actualize their dreams through interactive workshops, local resources, and socialization in structured forums.
