Port Huron non-profit, A Beautiful Me, is expanding their office and training space. After outgrowing their former office space, they have moved to a new space above PH Country Style Marketplace across the street from their retail store, The Closet by A Beautiful Me.
The new Empowerment and Training Suite was made possible by donations including a $15,000 grant from the Community Foundation of St. Clair County and a James C. Acheson Foundation gift of $10,000.
The Community Foundation grant was distributed by the Grants Committee and the Youth Advisory Council. The new space was celebrated with a ribbon cutting in April with over 100 attendees.
A Beautiful Me Executive Director, Karen Palka said, “After exhausting our current footprint to train youth we explored options to provide an adequate space of growth. Within this new 2,200 square foot Empowerment & Training Suite in Downtown Port Huron we will be able to serve teen girls in all three stages of our original business, philanthropy and entrepreneurial program – building confidence and self-esteem.”
