Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana provides a leadership development program for girls age 5-17.

The Girl Scout program helps each girl embrace her intrinsic abilities and value as a person. Visit www.kyanags.org for more information.


Maryhurst
Maryhurst provides treatment programs for severely traumatized children who most often are victims of sexual, physical, and/or emotion abuse. Children in our care turn to "risk-taking" behaviors to cope with their pain. These behaviors can include running away, truancy, suicidal gesturing, delinquency and substance abuse. Their issues are further complicated by years of multiple placements in foster care and hospital settings. We provide consistency, structure and love for children. Maryhurst provides programs that address the unique needs of more than 600 children and their families each year. Visit www.maryhurst.org for more information.
