Purpose:
PEEP This! aims to broaden the horizons of young girls by providing them with experiences that expand their understanding of the world around them. Through exposure to various opportunities, both locally in Washington, DC, and globally, our organization seeks to instill in these girls a sense of possibility, self-confidence, and a mindset geared towards achievement.
Target Audience:
PEEP This! focuses on girls between the ages of 11-14 who reside in neighborhoods facing significant health, educational, and social disparities. Concentrating on Wards 7 – 8 in the District of Columbia allows us to address the unique challenges these young girls encounter and equip them with the tools and inspiration needed to overcome obstacles and realize their full potential.
While some programs may include boys, our primary focus is on girls’ exposure and empowerment. Through our various initiatives, PEEP This! endeavors to create a lasting impact on these girls’ lives, providing them with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to pursue their passions and make positive contributions to their communities.
