Travis County Girl Squad
In the US, Covid-19 has impacted Black communities disproportionately. You funded a project that supports one vulnerable cohort of that population: Black girls aged 13 to 17 in Travis County, Texas, who have had had contact with the justice or child welfare system. “In partnership with the Travis County Juvenile Defenders office and Hearts2Heal, the Travis County Girls Squad aims to meet the urgent need of healthy connection, basic needs support, and mental wellness partnership for Black girls who need us right now,” says Meme Styles founder and president of Measure. Your donation purchased monthly grocery gift cards for 10 participants and funded a Black female psychologist for one month.
