“My worth cannot be changed,” is the empowering message of the Shine Program.

As women mentors, we understand the unique challenges adolescent girls face such as negative body image, understanding their strengths and insecurities, challenges making and keeping friends, navigating peer pressure and understanding how girls bodies develop and change. In the Middle School Shine Program, our mentors work with intention and care to explore these topics in a safe space, so as the girls learn to embrace who they are, they can also begin to embrace others.

The Middle School Shine girls meet every Friday morning before school to enjoy a breakfast and complete interactive work books and discussions to dive deep into their own value and worth while celebrating the other girls around them.

We have a vision for a community of girls who build one another up instead of tear each other down. We believe bringing the Shine Program into the Elementary and Middle schools is an excellent place to start.
