We empower them to discover and activate their voices to become Change Makers within their lives, families and community. The Girl Power Movement is made up of the following programs: The I Am Girls Project, Her Power Space and the Girl Power Circle.

The Courage to Soar

The Girl Power Movement is based on the Courage to Soar Framework designed to create safe spaces for teens and young adults as they (a) discover their voices and a deeper sense of self; (b) develop resiliency; (c) develop a mental wellness tool kit and (d) a Mental Wellness Campaign to educate their peers as a means in decreasing Anxiety and Depression. This Framework is made up of three pillars which are as follows:

Action Research

 Using the Youth Participatory Action Research  curriculum, teens will Identify and research  a mental wellness issue that impacts their peers and school  community. 

Mental Health

Teens will engage in a pre and post assessment for anxiety and depression. Recommendations for therapy will be made to parents for any teen indicating high levels of depression/anxiety.
