When Best Friends girls reach ninth grade, they enter the Diamond Girl Leadership, a program designed to keep girls interested, involved, and committed to their character development through high school and college. | |
| All
Diamond Girls participate in the Diamond Girl Jazz Choir or Performance
Dance Troupe which fosters discipline as well as the social and presentation
skills important for future success. Our goal is for all Diamond Girls to
graduate from high school with specific college, vocational, or career plans. |
