Mission: Interstages provides opportunities for early adolescent girls in low-income neighborhoods to discover talents, strengthen and develop skills, and heighten self-awareness, setting the stage for a successful transition into young adulthood. To fulfill this mission, Interstages operates a daily afterschool youth development program for middle school girls in Southeast DC. Three key elements make the Interstages model uniquely effective in engaging our girls:1) Exclusive focus on early adolescence. 2) Academic personalization. 3) Connecting to history through music and the arts.
