Discipline & Outreach for Leading Ladies & Support (DOLLS)

Program Overview

The Discipline & Outreach for Leading Ladies & Support (DOLLS) is a program of the Community Association of Resources, Education, Enrichment & Economics (CARE), Inc. that connects Girls in our community with a safety net of services and providers when and where they need it. The program is designed to help girls ages 10-18 primarily, but is a resource for parents, school staff and administrators. Our program helps with student discipline and offers an alternative to suspension and incarceration. We provide girls with someone to talk to about everyday life, the real world.

The DOLLS Program is a community based mentoring & support program that works with girls at-risk today, promoting their development and individual strengths, fostering healthy relationships and creating sustainable family and community relationships and connections. Our mentors are trained to use the following alternatives to manage inappropriate behaviors for girls:

  • Problem solving or contracting
  • Restitution
  • Mini courses or modules
  • Parent involvement/supervision
  • Counseling
  • Community service
  • Behavior monitoring
  • Coordinated behavior plans
  • Alternative programming
  • Appropriate in-school suspension
