Columbia Girls Secure Center

From October 2018 to March 2020, we provided a once-monthly year-round songwriting program for young women at the Columbia Girls Secure Center in Claverack, New York. Columbia housed up to 16 girls aged 12-20 who, while under the age of 16 were convicted of committing certain designated felonies and were sentenced in adult criminal court. CGSC closed in October 2021.
