2009 SUMMER LEADERSHIP TRAINING FOR SOMALI GIRLS

RIAC was one of 50 organizations in Boston funded by the Boston Foundation to run a Streetsafe Boston summer program. Teen age girls gathered each week in the Jamaica Plain office. They participated in leadership training, listened to guest speakers and organized three different summer events. The final event was a big success! The program ended with a beautiful Somali fashion show, music and dancing which thoroughly entertained the program participants, their friends and family.
