Mission Statement
The Lipstick After Dark Girls Mentoring program provides a safe space for girls and young women to be themselves in a world that constantly forces them to be be anything but that. We will empower them with the tools to navigate life’s trials, challenges, and triumphs as they transition from girls to women.
Vision Statement
Lipstick After Dark empowers girls and young women with the confidence to understand self-worth, overcome the obstacles and barriers encountered in their everyday lives. Our program taps into fears, thoughts, feelings and emotions that manifest when there is no supervision.
