Feedback from participants:
Said 14 year old Shartrese Jackson of the Girls Circle experience : "The girls are cool to be around. I made friends. I learned about relationships and smart choices, and not to be caught up in peer pressure."

"My grandmother forced me into it (the Girls Circle)", Reanna, 14, said. "At first I thought it was going to be boring. But I learned respect. I use to fight a lot, but now I love arts and crafts. I like doing clothes, I like to draw, I like being creative with paper. I'm trying to get better with sewing."
