A 33- Week Curriculum for 6th- 8th Grade Girls​
Unit 1: Who Am I?
Unit 2: What is Beauty?
Unit 3: What's My Purpose?
Unit 4: How Do I Get There?

​Providing a unique curriculum to embrace the truest essence of themselves and giving them the tools to use their voice for projects they are passionate for!
A life enrichment program for girls ages 10-15 years old. It can be used during school, after school or during the summer. It empowers and encourages girls to love themselves JUST the way they are since often times the images that they see challenge their image of self. Poor self-esteem leads to poor choices and destructive habits. Through this program you will see how these young girls become bold, credible and unapologetic leaders of the future.

Our Impact
We have reached young Middle School girls from grades 6-8 and recently Elementary girls grades 4-5 by creating safe spaces that they look forward to coming to, in order to discuss, lead, organize and be heard. This is the age where students are ready to lead and challenge the norms that they once willfully accepted. Our program gives them the safe space to flesh out these thoughts, learn about their world and discover the ways in which they can put their passions into action and make a positive impact. Our girls unleash hidden talents, build confidence through student performances and class presentations, organize events, fundraise for trips and recognize character flaws to start the healing process to become a better person for themselves and to others around them. The impact isn’t recognizable in totality as it continues in ways we can only imagine.
