Safe Space was created to provide Somali American girls a space to connect with peers, develop relationships with mentors, learn about healthy choices, and understand their community. The organization offers activities to encourage girls to be active, such as basketball, martial arts, and visiting sculpture gardens. It also provides resources and classes to promote healthy choices regarding nutrition, women's health topics, and finding local clinics. The goal is to empower girls and help them develop into confident individuals.
