A Place for Support and Growth

Bay Ridge Community Development Center formed a Women’s Support Group, led by our mental health counselor, Abir Saleh, to create a safe space for women to talk and find support with one another. Our women’s group meets every Saturday at 1:00 PM to discuss important topics like financial literacy and independency, how to invest their money, skill development and empowering each other.

By donating to Bay Ridge and supporting our Women’s Support Group, you can help us to enhance this program and ensure that it reaches even more members of our community. They can have a place to meet inspiring women.
