Our Logo’s Meaning
The two-letter B’s backed to each other represents providing foundation and strength through relationship, support, teamwork, and cooperation. The draping of the pearls is a symbol of wisdom and a sense of safety, loyalty, and trust. The bowtie tied to the bottom assures keeping Baker Brown together through pure creativity and confidence with the willingness to be different to preserve our commitment to excellence.
MAIN FOCUS OF THE PROGRAM
The primary focus of our program is to reach middle school and high school-aged girls through education, health, character, self-esteem, and personal finances.
Middle school youth are especially vulnerable to multiple risks. For example, the process of social alienation leads children to drop out of school, ultimately. Dropping out of school often starts during the middle grades (Focus on the Middle Years, 2004). The middle school years are a critical point in life where setting trajectories for life success is imperative. During the middle school years, young teens undergo physical, intellectual, and social-emotional changes shaping who they are.
Our program addresses challenges faced by middle school to high school-aged girls by designing a group home providing skills necessary to compete in the 21st century.
High school girls face many obstacles. Obstacles that affect high school-aged girls are depression, family, the future, media, self-esteem, sex, stress, and substance abuse. Our program will address these areas of concern promoting educated, healthy, and financially sound young women who will enter society at the age of 18.
In addition, residents of our program will benefit from the curriculum by learning skills needed to conduct themselves in society as model citizens. Residents will also benefit from concepts relative to young girls such as, but not limited to, education, health, and financial awareness.
