MEET THE CP
About Me: So I need to do more yoga...not just once or twice a week. Why? Because I want to improve my current practice, and the only way to do that is practice more. So as I improve my core strength, master my balance, and utilize my gumby like flexibility, I am going to help others find balance and strenth through Becky's Fund. Domestic violence is rampant and Becky's Fund is taking a preventative approach to the problem here in DC. Thier focus is on young boys and girls. They help them learn how to respect themselves and others to ensure that they do not abuse others or let themselves be held down by an abusive partner later in life. So I will do yoga everyday and all you have to do is donate 5...10...15...20...250 dollars, which ever you prefer and we will all work together to make love and respect the norm in our nations capital.
PROJECT SUMMARY
Domestic violence affects everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or educational background. This project directly funds two Becky’s Fund youth initiatives: the “Becoming Your Own Heroine: Lessons in Self-Empowerment and Dating Violence” and the “Young Men’s Mentorship Program”. Targeting the highest risk youths in the D.C. metro area, the initiatives provide participants with education about dating and domestic violence. As a result, youth have the tools to create healthy, productive relationships, and learn how to teach others by example about conflict resolution, allowing them to build lasting and healthy relationships for the future.
