UCA’s Girls Circle at Stetson
UCA will partner with the Stetson Branch Library to be the site and location for the Girl Circle. The Stetson Branch Library is a long-standing pillar in the New Haven community, newly renovated and aligned with the recently opened Dixwell Q House in the heart of the historic Dixwell neighborhood. In addition to the location, the girls will have access to pro-social, entrepreneurial, creative, recreational, and educational supports, opportunities, and activities.
The goal of UCA’s Girls Circle is to provide young girls with the confidence and tools they need to form and maintain healthy and productive lives while contributing to their community.
