Organization Summary
Founded in 1887, for over 125 years Crittenton Services of Greater Washington has been serving girls and women in the greater Washington area. From 1887 through the 1970s, the Florence Crittenton Home of Washington, DC provided residential, health, employment, and educational services to women during unplanned pregnancies, with the mission of keeping mothers and children together and educating young women in work and life skills.

By the 1970s, Crittenton shifted its focus from caring for single mothers to preventing teen pregnancy. In 1983, we closed our residential facility and began delivering school-based programs using a “whole girl” approach that is now known as positive youth development.

For over 30 years, our school-based positive youth development programs have empowered teen girls to overcome obstacles, make positive choices, and achieve their goals. Our SNEAKERS program helps teen girls in the 8th through 12th grade navigate the challenges and choices of high school. Our PEARLS program gives pregnant and parenting teen the support, knowledge, and skills to thrive as individuals and as parents. Our 4Cing the Future program motivates and prepares 8th grade girls to become the first in their families to attend college. The results are life changing: the girls in our programs are staying in school, avoiding pregnancy, graduating from high school, and going on to college and careers.
