"Crowning Confidence: Care + Connection” Project
Theme:  “Serve with Purpose. Impact with Heart.”  

This year, our FWR Teens will have an amazing opportunity to make an impact in the community with a multi-faceted focus on community service, self confidence, legislative advocacy with the “Crowning Confidence: Care+Connection” project.

We are thrilled to partner with the Founder and Executive Director Danielle Townshend of Curls, Coils, & Crowns nonprofit organization and our FWR Legislative Team on this IMPACT project. Our collective efforts will promote self-awareness and confidence among our teens while advocating for the Crown Act/Crown Coalition initiative which originated in California under then State Senator Holly J. Mitchell in 2019.

All registered teens will actively participate in inclusive activities that will elevate their self-esteem and confidence, empower their voice to advocate for relevant issues, and engage with their fellow peers while giving back to African American  youth in the local community.
