About Us

Sisters Supporting Sisters, Inc. (SSS) is a nonprofit, publicly supported charitable organization  created to improve the lives of at risk girls.  Founded in 1997 in Capitol Heights, Maryland, SSS  provides opportunities that support, encourage and strengthen girls aged 12 to 17, with programs that focus on three critical issues:

      Empowerment
       Leadership
      Self-Esteem

SSS programs are offered in a variety of educational formats including After-School programs, Saturday Camps, and summer Camps.

Why is SSS important?

All of us agree it is tough to be a teenager these days.  And it's even tougher to be a teenage girl.  Research has shown that when girls reach adolescence, they begin to realize how difficult it is to retain a sense of themselves as healthy, strong, independent, intelligent young women.

SSS uses a holistic approach to help girls deal with such problems as loneliness, boredom, lack of goals, low self esteem, parental neglect, drugs, alcohol, violence, gangs, teen pregnancy, media exploitation,  and lack of positive role models.

It is our vision to create a fun, stress-free learning environment where girls are encouraged to succeed academically, socially and professionally.
