OUR MISSION

Polished for Prom, Inc, a broad-based community initiative, assists young women who are of adverse backgrounds. The organization is dedicated to creating programs to build selfdevelopment of young girls through empowerment skills, mentoring programs, and ultimately provide a dream prom experience for high school seniors.

THE VISION Through the Polished for Prom organization, young women will develop a sense of confidence, positive attitudes, and the ability to succeed while overcoming issues that plague a lot of young women in today’s society. Our programs seek to give young girls the opportunity to embrace their full potential and self-worth, while improving their ability to identify resources within their communities that can contribute to effective change and break cycles.

We envision a world where girls with strong voices become active leaders and passionately engaged citizens, impacting not only their own neighborhoods but also their nation. By enforcing initiatives to promote self-esteem and connecting them with exceptional mentors, our girls will get the guidance and motivation that is needed to ensure a successful transition into womanhood.



ABOUT POLISHED FOR PROM The history of Polished For Prom is typical of many non-profit organizations in terms of its organizational growth patterns. As this short history explains, founded in 2011, Polished For Prom was established by a small group of very motivated women who had a passion for helping the young ladies in our community by sponsoring the proms of high school seniors who could not afford to attend. In a short year, we have sustained and grown the organization and continue to bring resources to teen girls in the Baltimore, DC, and Philadelphia region. Since its inception, Polished For Prom has had the desire to connect young girls with resources and opportunities that provide additional financial and academic assistance. Through ongoing community support and dedicated outreach we have been able to extend our reach to the young ladies of our community, while positively impacting other organizations and individuals.

Throughout our growing evolution, we have maintained goals and strategies consistent with the overall mission of the organization, including:

   

Building strong community involvement by dedicating time, money, and assistance to organizations created to helping others Empowering young girls to understand and value self-worth, career & academic advancement, and lifestyle skills. Providing the ultimate prom experience to those high school young ladies who do not have the financial means to attend. Creating a community of positive and professional young ladies who are able to recognize and utilize their resources to succeed in the future.



2012 PROM SPONSORSHIPS In the nucleus of our organizational reach are the prom sponsorships. Our sponsorships provide an opportunity for low-income high school seniors to attend prom. With the help of the community, business owners, and sponsors, we are able to provide the perfect prom every teen girl dreams of.

Participants are chosen through and application and essay process. In order to qualify, candidates must be a female high school senior with at least a 2.5 GPA, and have a financial need that prevents them from attending prom. Winners are then selected based on their essay response and interview with the founders.

The goal of our prom sponsorships is not only to allow these girls to attend their prom, but also to reward those young ladies that are making a commitment to excelling academically regardless of their personal setbacks.

OUTCOMES Participants of our prom sponsorships receive the ultimate prom experience, including our Polished Package. Each winner will receive:        
