Spending five days living in a dormitory on the campus of Tulane University, the girls engaged in swimming, rock climbing, canoeing, horseback riding, volleyball, racquetball, basketball, yoga, and arts and crafts. Evening activities included sessions on conflict resolution sponsored by the Children's Bureau, journal writing and a talent show attended by the campers' parents, friends and siblings. More than fifty volunteers helped to make this inaugural event a success. In addition to CTI , the grant was funded and supported through the C.S. Mott Foundation , Active Voice Corporation and the Dialogic Corporation . These agencies in turn assign voice mail phone numbers to clients who are seeking employment, involved in case management programs or otherwise engaged in a process leading toward self-sufficiency.
Services are free to member agencies and homeless persons.
