  In my experience with this work, you will get students as soon as word starts spreading that you are offering this free service. Consider using MeetUp (www.meetup.com) to get people to join the group and post information about your classes. It will cost $19.95 a month to form your group, but it will get you some traffic. Offering a workshop at a local library or a school is great as well. If there are any health & wellness expos in your area, try to get to the street fairs or anything else to promote. Nevertheless, FREE drives people in the door, so start spreading the word.

  I would contact the Philadelphia/Camden Teach For America office and ask them to promote your idea/service to their corps members (teachers of your target audience) in one of their newsletters. (Be aware that August-September is an especially busy time for them and you may have to be friendly but persistent.) You might also be able to participate in one of their workshops by leading a session to show the teachers what you do and relay your program's goals. I think you have a great idea and I hope you do well with it.

  It is great to win a grant like the one offered by Idea Blob to cover expenses. However, you can do things to have this concept generate income on its own. For example, have the kids create a Yoga & Wellness DVD based on the classes they did to sell and generate profit. Think recurring income. Every class that you do that is not recorded is a lost opportunity to generate traffic and income in the future.
  
  Get sponsorship from local health & wellness businesses. If your largest overhead is rent, then consider conducting your classes in a place where you don't have to pay rent. Schools, churches, YMCAs, librarys and more would probably give you free space to get kids off the streets and into their community programs. T

  Are you familiar with the MBA project (it's a non-profit based in Northern CA) It sounds like you are seeking to open up a very similar offering on the other side of the country. If that's the case, you might seek a partnership, affiliation, or at the very least see if the ED would be willing to share some lessons learned.

  I love your passion to help young girls.
  
  Good luck!
