South Side Coalition on Urban Girls

The South Side Coalition on Urban Girls (SSCUG) is an alliance of organizations and individuals that advocate to improve the health, safety and wellness of South Side urban girls that are impacted by extreme crisis through comprehensive resources and services. This coalition is comprised of community based organizations, churches, schools, health providers and community residents.  The purpose of SSCUG is to increase the health and wellness of girls residing in distressed communities on Chicago’s South Side. In May, 2011 the Coalition completed its evaluation goal and administered more than 400 surveys to girls ages 12-18 in various South Side communities and reached an additional 180 girls through focus groups to determine the health priorities and resource needs of girls living in high risk communities on the South Side. Evaluation results will be compiled into a community briefing document and will be disseminated to stakeholders, civic leaders, administrators and parents through town hall meetings. SSCUG activities for 2011 include preparation for an urban girls’ conference which will be held in May, 2012 and the development of a resource guide for South Side girls.
