Diamonds in the Rough
We are happy to have Diamonds in the Rough Group Buffalo, a new and exciting girl mentoring program, at Gloria J. Parks Community Center. Their mission is to equip young girls, ages 10-18, and improve their quality of life! Diamond Girls will reach high expectations as they focus on learning: respect, manners, how to serve others, etiquette, leadership and financial skills.
They meet weekly 6:30 – 8:00 on Tuesdays in the GED classroom. Registration is free.
