Antrim Girls Shelter
Antrim, New Hampshire
“. . . to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes
. . . . and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.” Isaiah 61:3

Antrim
Girls Shelter provides a safe haven for girls who have been referred by the
juvenile
court.
While
at
Antrim,
girls
work to
regain
control
of their
behavior, to catch up with school, to gain insight into their destructive
behavior patterns and to learn new positive ones, and to heal broken relationships.
Antrim provides an intense, short-term, structured environment for girls
who
may never have had stability before.
The shelter is staffed around the clock, so that someone is there when a girl
is in need. The daily routine includes mandatory attendance at the on-site
special education certified school, a system of rewards and privileges, daily
and weekly chores and an hour of quiet study time. There is daily group and
individual counseling as well. Although optional, almost all the girls attend
the Bible study meetings.
The staff develops a plan for each girl based on her social history. Some
girls are reunited with their families; others go into foster care; others
may need long-term residential treatment care.
Antrim Girls Shelter is so successful in healing that many girls come back
to visit and to share time with the staff who gave them beauty instead of ashes...praise
instead of despair.

- $15.00 will purchase school supplies for one girl.
