about

 The Lower Eastside Girls Club was founded in 1996 to address the disparities of opportunity in a low-income community that had ‘boys only’ youth clubs. With few assets other than grit and determination, mothers in the community decided that the time had come to change that situation and founded the club. 

La Tiendita is the entrepreneurial training program of The Lower Eastside Girls Club. They employ and train high school girls, college students and Lower East Side mothers. Shop their fair-trade and girl-made gifts where all proceeds support their free programs at the LES Girls Club Center for Community on Avenue D.
