“My granddaughter has been in my custody for 3yrs now. We went through another mentoring program previously & didn't have many complaints, but it seemed more like a babysitting service than mentoring. Someone recommended S.W.A.G., so we decided to "try" it, although my granddaughter was hesitant & wanted to stay in her comfort zone with our previous program. We are sooooooooooooo grateful we made this decision. Rebecca has blossomed & flourished in S.W.A.G. Watching her confidence grow has been beautiful. S.W.A.G. gives her opportunities to try things she never would try on her own. The group encourages each other & works as a team, which is much needed in this world today. Phyllis runs an incredible mentoring program that teaches young ladies leadership, teamwork, confidence & teaches them to advocate for themselves & others. All of the volunteers are incredible role models! I cannot praise this program enough & wish there was a program similar for male teens also!” - Sherry
