This newly launched community outreach organization is dedicated to teenage girls of
parents struggling to survive in today’s depressed economy, especially single mothers,
struggling to raise teen girls in a world often plagued by violence and crime. Bernadette’s
house offers a structured and safe after school and weekend program that will benefit any
community in the Columbia, Laurel area of Maryland.
“Many youth come from homes where one or both parents are absent due to extenuating
circumstances, and/or poor life choices,” says Carol Nash, Founder of Bernadette’s
House. “In such cases, these girls fall through the cracks and are often exposed to
damaging environments filled with violence and destructive behaviors leading to poor
self-esteem, and lack of respect toward themselves and others. Bernadette’s House is
dedicated to the training, education of life skills, and social learning in order to promote
self-esteem and confidence, and afford youth the opportunity to become productive
members of society.”
Bernadette’s House is a proud partner of the Laurel Boys and Girls Club. All initial
operations for Bernadette’s House will be housed at the Laurel Boys and Girls Club
located at 701 Montgomery Street, Laurel, MD 20707.
About Bernadette’s House
Bernadette’s house was created to have a significant positive impact on the lives of
teenaged girls, ages 12 to 17, in the Laurel and Columbia Maryland area. Bernadette’s
House promotes high self-esteem and self-worth to girls of women struggling to survive
with or without partners by providing a safe, structured, home-like environment, which
encourages them to become productive members of society. Concentrating in this critical
age group will allow the organization to provide a structured curriculum that will impact
character, attitudes and behaviors prior to entering adulthood.
