Please join Girls Are Powerful, as we SET OUT to encourage all girls to embrace and celebrate their qualities of being POWERFUL, BEAUTIFUL, UNIQUE, SMART, CONFIDENT, AND DETERMINED through the Power Letter Campaign.
Did you know? Numerous studies have shown that by the time a girl reaches twelve years of age, her self-esteem drops significantly and begins to affect various areas of her life including how she views herself, her academics and her social, and family relationships.* Girls Are Powerful wants to counter this statistic!
* Statistic taken from http://www.nyc.gov/html/girls/html/issues/issues.shtml
How will this work? As a part of our workshops, we will bestow upon each girl one of these special Power Letters, to reinforce the message of encouraging them to love and celebrate their qualities. Target age group: 10-13 year olds
How to get involved? Write a letter!
You will write a letter to a girl: whether it is your sister, your niece, your daughter, or your younger self.
You will:
- Share your personal thoughts, advice, and encouragement.
- Advise this girl on any of the six power principles and what they mean to you.
Sign up today to encourage our girls to own their POWER! Questions or to email your letter please contact us at girls@girlsarepowerful.org.
