“Where Sisterhood Meets Life-Long Readiness”

The Girls’ Room Las Vegas is a holistic, gender-specific after-school program designed for high school girls ages 15–19 in East Las Vegas. Rooted in sisterhood and empowerment, the program focuses on preventing teenage pregnancy and promoting sexual health through access to comprehensive sex education. Each cohort is limited to 15 young women who are committed to growth, service, and community. To be eligible, applicants must be enrolled in high school (grades 9–12), not be deemed chronically absent, have reliable transportation to and from sessions, and be able to meet at least half of the program hours to remain in good standing.

Participants engage in real conversations, activities, service projects, and mentorship while developing life skills, emotional resilience, and leadership. With limited spots available, The Girls’ Room offers a safe haven where sisterhood meets life-changing readiness.

Summer 2026 Cohort:

Applications ARE OPEN NOW for this Cohort. This group meets twice a week from 11am-2pm every Tuesday and Thursday. This cohort meets weekly on Tuesdays from 3–5 PM! This 13-Week Cycle will engage with the Reducing the Risk curriculum designed to help high school students delay the initiation of sex or increase the use of protection against pregnancy and STD/HIV if they choose to have sex. This research-proven approach addresses skills such as risk assessment, communication, decision making, planning, refusal strategies and delay tactics. This group will also engage with the Be Proud! Be Responsible multi-media curriculum that provides adolescents with the knowledge, motivation and skills to change their behaviors in ways that will reduce their risk of contracting HIV and other sexually transmitted diseases.

Applications will open for this Cohort ONCE SUMMER SESSION ENDS. This cohort meets weekly on Tuesdays from 3–5 PM! This 5-month cycle includes Level 1 and Level 2 of the Safer Choices: Preventing HIV, STD, and Pregnancy curriculum. In addition, our girls have the opportunity to meet influential women from our own community who have gone through similar experiences and will share their journeys, while we provide ongoing mentorship and support throughout the school year.

Our Primary Objectives:

1) to equip teens, sexually active or not, with the knowledge and skills to navigate potential risks associated with premarital sex, thereby preventing unintended pregnancies.

2) to support young mothers within our community by offering educational resources, tools, and guidance to empower them in making informed decisions regarding their sexual health.

3) to promote overall well-being and empowerment among young women.
