aboutus
Imagine: Walking into a new space and instantly feeling seen. Imagine the confidence that comes with knowing you look your best, without the crushing worry of cost. This is what the PEARLS experience is all about.
​
Our style studio is a curated thrift boutique providing tween and teen girls with zero-cost access to high-quality, gently used clothing and essential hygiene products. We remove the financial barrier to dignity so girls can focus on growth.
​
Beyond the wardrobe, we offer additional opportunities to uplift girls such as workshops and community events. Through our Mentoring Style Network concept, girls who choose to participate are paired with a Journey Partner for 12 months of structured mentorship focused on building self-image and self-advocacy skills.
​
At PEARLS, we believe that when material dignity meets sustained direction, girls thrive. The next mentorship cohort begins March 8th.
