Our History
In June 2019 we formed our organization to provide sensible solutions. Seeing a need for violence reduction and prevention strategies, in the underserved Indianapolis and surrounding area. We've consistently grown since then, thanks to the helping hands of this amazing community!
Our Mission
Our primary mission is to foster character-building guidelines, goal setting, empowerment, violence reduction and prevention strategy guidance using data-driven models. We provide solutions that make a long-lasting impact.
Pearls Summary
Patricia Pearls is a girls-only nonprofit organization providing mentoring, molding, prevention strategies, and character-building programs for middle, high school, and college-bound youth. The program form partnerships with local school districts, Beauty colleges, churches, community businesses, and the Indianapolis Police Department. The goal is to bridge the gap from girls to pearls by offering constructive behavior seminars, violence reduction workshops, WHAT ATTITUDE workshop, counseling sessions, self-reflection, self-esteem classes, money management workshops, developmental classes, culinary classes, parenting discussions, first aid & basic CPR training, ladies etiquette sessions, tours of local businesses, guest speakers and lastly volunteering four times per year in the community alongside mentors.
We're paving the way for every girl to blossom into a beautiful Pearl and make healthy lifelong decisions. Patricia Pearls engage girls directly in dealing with current and relevant issues in today's times. Our mission is to break the cycle of despair that could ultimately be life-changing. Low self-worth often creates behavior issues that could lead to unplanned pregnancies, failure in the classroom, destructive habits, suicidal thoughts, or loss of faith. We strive to identify youth who may have a turbulent transition to adulthood; we want to derail the pitfalls early that could zap them from a good life and bright future.
There are mountains of possibilities that lie within everyone. We believe that we can achieve endless opportunities with the proper empowerment tools.
