MEET OUR FOUNDER

Ms. Porter started Save Girls on F.Y.E.R (SGOF) in 2013 out of a desire to empower girls to move beyond their circumstances and to help girls understand that they can lead empowered lives.  Jacquee brings a rich experience in nursing and social services to her work with youth.  She began her career working in a variety of capacities at Central Connecticut ARC, Inc., which provides community based services for people with disabilities. From CCARC she earned her licensed practical nursing degree (LPN) and worked for Hancock Hall, a skilled nursing facility in Danbury, CT.  It was during that time when she experienced a pivotal moment of recognition and validation that inspired to be a mentor for young women.  Since that moment Jacquee has made it her mission to validate the identity of other young women and break the cycle of social immobility.  As a role model, it is her hope that young women would look at her and say “If you can do it, I can do it” Jacquee’s words to any young woman who feels invisible – “I SEE YOU!”
