The Goal
Our program will help teens develop
a positive self image. We will
demonstrate why it’s important for
teens to take pride in what they do
and what they say. Through our
program we want to show teens how
they can build their self esteem, learn
new things and feel good about their
values and decisions. Over the course
of several weeks, the teens will
interact with their peers and
professionals to learn how to wind
their way through this important time
of their life.
To be yourself in a world
constantly trying to make you
something else is the greatest
accomplishment.

The Need
Teens have many pressures upon them,
from the physical changes in their body
to peer acceptance. With these pressures,
their confidence and self esteem can
suffer. The natural desire to feel accepted
can begin to take over their lives. They
focus on comparing themselves against
the images they see on television and in
the movies, along with those around
them. They sometimes fail to recognize
their own strengths and unique qualities.
This all comes at a time when teens are
saddled with more responsibility to
choose between right and wrong and to
develop their own values to live by.
