OUR IMPACT

During the 2017-2018 Program Year, SWSG Pittsburgh and our dedicated volunteers, supporters, staff and board members served nearly 1,000 girls and women. We asked them about their experiences with our program and what they achieved through SWSG - here’s what we learned.

A majority of girls enrolled scored highly in all outcome areas related to the 6Cs of Positive Youth Development.

Girls in our program express the highest increase in their belief that they are uniquely talented and should express their individuality.

More than 90% of College Mentors said SWSG increased their ability to collaborate with and serve people of diverse backgrounds.

80% of College Mentors reported an increased sense of civic engagement and ability to make a difference in the community.

3/4 of College Mentors reported that SWSG clarified their personal “Being an SWSG mentor “[SWSG has been] a wonderful and professional goals, or that they discovered new interests/talents has taught me how to experience that helped further through SWSG. be confident in myself my dream to help children in and share information need.
