Scope and Contents
The Adams-Morgan Teen Service Center is trying to fill the void left when the Washington Summer Enrichment Program ended. La Von Bundy decided that teen-age girls needed more than the summer activities and should have a year-round center. Fun and games are good social outlets, she said, but they don't make women of girls or provide the motivation necessary to make it in this world.
Mrs. Bundy outlined three initial aims of the center: To furnish a place where birth control information can be gathered and exchanged; to provide a referral service to direct the girls to authorized public agencies in the city or bring professionals into the center; and to teach such things as sewing and home economics.
