Where it all began…
In 1991, while working for Toronto Community Housing Corporation as a Recreation Programs Coordinator, I began the process of creating programming to address the key needs of female youth in the community by interviewing parents, youth, community workers, and teachers.
The original “Girlz Program” started operation with a small dream in 1992 through the City of Toronto, in a room with 8 excited girls. Now, ‘Simply Anew Me’ has various programs in many cities throughout the GTA.
Our programs have now expanded to all ages of girls and women, by whom are empowered through the use of programs, workshops, retreats, as well as group and 1 on 1 counseling.
