Hi Friends!

My name is Dr. Kerry Anne Perkins and I am proud to be a Wonder Girls Board Member and the Garfield Park Academy Program Coordinator!

Wonder Girls is an after-school program for middle and high school girls with a mission to build confidence, leadership, community spirit, and the necessary business skills to succeed no matter what educational or career path they choose.

In addition to my work with Wonder Girls, I am a practicing Board Certified OBGYN and a Captain in the United States Army. Throughout my career and my time with Wonder Girls, I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many beautiful, strong young women helping them to achieve their fullest potential!

In my time as the Garfield Park Academy Program Coordinator, I have seen firsthand the positive impact that Wonder Girls has had on these young girls. I have watched their confidence soar, heard the joy in their voices, and felt the strength and trust they’ve built with each other.

My hope is to inspire YOU to not only donate but also be active participants in supporting and empowering the next generation. Will you join me?

Garfield Park Academy is a New Jersey state approved, private, not-for-profit school that provides effective, evidence-based special education services for students in grades K-12 who have a history of learning, social, emotional and behavioral challenges.
