I'm reaching out on behalf of an inspiring 18-year-old girl who has faced challenges in school and with her Yiddishkeit but is currently in college. She's in a really positive place now and is eager to continue growing in an open-minded environment where she can find good friends that will have a positive impact on her life and support her spiritual journey.

We're hoping to find her good friends who can provide a positive influence, as she hasn't had much exposure to good friends lately. Are there any opportunities for her in Lakewood or Brooklyn?

Additionally, we're exploring options for a good seminary or possibly a good inspiring summer program, both locally and in Israel, that would be suitable for someone who has faced challenges but is now in a much better place. However, I don't think a seminary that caters to off to derech girls will work for her as she views herself not in that category and doesn't view herself as a typical Bais Yaakov girl. It would have to be a more frum, open-minded, modern place. Additionally, is there any financial assistance available to help defray the costs for the seminary as I hear it's very expensive, but we would try to do anything to give our daughter an opportunity to grow in the right environment.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide in helping her find the support and environment she needs to thrive.
