Girls participating in Project Window will engage in community service projects to learn the value of teamwork, cooperation and helping others.

The girls will collect and donate clothes and toys to homeless shelters around New York City. They will also visit nursing homes to read to the patients and help feed the hungry at local soup kitchens.
