The F.I.N.D. (Families in Need of Direction) Design is a 501(c)(3), community-based organization, serving Mid-TN middle and high schools’ girls of color by using strength-based African and African American centered models to promote cultural history and traditions. This framework embraces girls through powers, gifts, and talents to stimulate the characters of girls of color who true desire is to become high achievers in their schools and communities. Programs, through partnerships with Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) and Davidson County Juvenile Court, are extremely diverse, extending from prevention to intervention, school-based, after-school, and summer “experiences”. These programs intentionally address the specific needs of girls, including girls of color.

The goal of The F.I.N.D. Design programs is to identify girls that are “lost in the shuffle”, are not being heard, and as a result, fall victims of generational trauma and systematic oppression. Our services provide a platform where they can be heard, offered support, and be given tools to build on these strengths. As a result, the strengths they possess, can be used to enhance their lives not only culturally, physically, emotionally, but also mentally, and spiritually.
