Welcome to the Oakland Teen Empowerment Program for Teen Girls (non-profit 501C3). The objective of the program is to educate, empower and embrace all teen girls, we will encourage participants to register and attend college.
We would like to give a very warm ‘Thank You’ to sponsors, mentors, Peralta Colleges and Bridge Bank for making this program possible. We are grateful to be able to give back to the community. This is by far our most rewarding experience and there is no other girls’ program like this in the Bay Area.
The purpose of our nonprofit program is to prevent teens from becoming victims of violence/ trafficking and to provide them the tools to become strong community leaders. Our goal is to increase the number of girls in our community that attend college annually. For more information, please see our web site, the KRON TV interview and newspaper article.

As a family owned nonprofit, we have been inspired to ‘live to give’ and to empower girls to become strong women and community leaders. Our daughter and Event Chair, Celebrity Chef Nikki Shaw, won Miss Oakland Teen many years ago and it gave her the confidence to be the successful woman, mother, and wife that she is today.
As the founder of this program it has been our pleasure to mentor and empower over 100 young ladies. It is our family’s goal to continue to reach out to teen girls in the community and watch as they thrive. We are happy and grateful for the support and the love we have received.
Good luck to all the girls, they are all winners!
