For more than a decade, the Teaching and Restoring Youth (TRY) Program has provided a safe environment for at-risk girls between the ages of 16 and 21. The young women have access to education, health care, counseling, and job training. Since 1997, the TRY Program has empowered and changed more than 330 young women as they continued their education to become healthy, productive and self-sufficient members of society.

"Sometimes you just want to bundle
them up and take them home, but you aren't their mother and you can't be their bestfriend.." Sr. Janet DiPasquale SSJ 
Through TRY I have realized that just because your life story may start off shaky, as long as you try and have hope, you can turn to a new happy chapter of life and keep it there. Thank you to everyone for the help and support. It is very much appreciated.

...So if you ever are wondering what this program has done for me, then now you know...I now believe that I do in fact have a future worth waiting for and working towards and TRY provides me with all of my other needs so I can do that. I am grateful for everyone at TRY who makes this program what it is now.
- Daisy, a TRY Resident 
TRY empowered me to make the changes in my life that I desperately needed to make, and because of the program and the extremely caring staff, I can say that that I'm happier and living a much more fulfilled life than I ever thought I could have.

Amanda's Story:During the last three months at TRY I have finished my GED program and have been accepted into Medaille College. I have decided that I would like to be a child psychologist so I can help people who are going through the things I am experiencing now. When I was younger, never in a hundred years would I have thought that Id end up in jail. But I guess things like that sometimes have to happen in life so we can make the changes needed. Im on the right track and looking forward to good things to come.

Maria's Story:If it wasnt for TRY, I would have no home. Without TRYs help, I wouldn't be going into my senior year of high school. The TRY Program helped me pass my exams by keeping me focused on school. The program also helped me pay for my junior/senior prom so I was able to go. I truly thank God that the TRY Program is open because if it wasn't I don't know where I would be right now.
