Youth Development

Teens’ Closet, a North Star Youth Partnership program of Catholic Charities, supplies more than just new outfits. For those like Beth, having access to the program means being able to feel comfortable and confident in what they wear.

Girl Talk, a North Star Youth Partnership program of Catholic Charities, connects Prescott girls in middle and high school with mentors who help them navigate everything from self-esteem building to resolving conflicts with friends.
