Crittenton Services of Greater Washington empowers the most vulnerable teen girls to overcome obstacles, make positive choices, and achieve their goals through programs in schools in Washington, DC and Montgomery County, MD. The term “bright future” sums up our vision. It means that the girls in our programs will thrive as adolescents and become healthy, contributing adults. They will leave our programs equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to make smart choices about their reproductive health, relationships, education, careers, and families. They avoid pregnancies while they are teens, and they graduate from high school. Ultimately, they will earn college degrees or complete post-secondary training, have fulfilling careers and the families of their choice.
