Stories
Featured here are stories that bring to life the impact of the services provided by the members of the Crittenton family of agencies. Each quarter we will share new stories–sometimes they will be told by the girls and young women and in other cases through the voices of agency staff, parents and others. To protect the confidentiality of the girls and young women there may be instances in which fictional names and stock photos are used. In the future we will bring you stories about the staff, volunteers, and board members who support the Crittenton family of agencies and the foundation.
We hope you enjoy these stories about the irrepressible spirit, drive, and smarts of the girls and young women who come through our doors. If you have a Crittenton story you would like to share, email us at inbox@TheNationalCrittentonFoundation.org
