At What Makes You Feel Beautiful (WMYFB), we believe in the transformative power of community, education, and empowerment. Our mission extends far beyond surface-level beauty—it's about helping young women discover their strength, confidence, and potential to make a difference in their lives and communities.
Education and Financial Literacy: The Building Blocks of Empowerment
One of our core focuses at WMYFB is enhancing the educational and financial literacy of young girls. By equipping them with knowledge and practical skills, we empower them to rise above poverty and shape their futures with confidence. Our programs are tailored to address the unique challenges that girls face, providing them with tools and resources to navigate their educational and financial journeys successfully.
The MAUI GEMS Program: A Beacon of Hope
The MAUI GEMS program stands as a testament to our commitment to making a lasting impact. This initiative offers paid summer internships for girls aged 13 through 19, targeting a demographic where teenage pregnancy rates are alarmingly high due to socio-economic factors. By engaging these young women in meaningful activities and connecting them with mentors, we help them make informed decisions about their health, futures, and careers. Our goal is not only to provide immediate support but to foster a supportive network that extends beyond the summer, ensuring ongoing guidance and encouragement.
Events and Workshops: Creating Spaces for Growth and Learning
WMYFB regularly hosts events and workshops designed to inspire and educate. From career planning and financial management to self-care and wellness, these gatherings are pivotal. They offer safe spaces for young women to learn, share, and grow together. Our upcoming events include a variety of workshops that address everything from resume writing to effective communication, all tailored to build stronger, more resilient young leaders.
Volunteer and Mentorship Opportunities: Join Us in Making a Difference
The success of our programs relies heavily on the dedication and passion of our volunteers and mentors. We invite individuals who are committed to making a difference to join us. Whether you're looking to mentor a young person, assist in event planning, or support our operational tasks, your contribution will have a profound impact on the lives of many young women.
Looking Ahead: The Future of WMYFB
As we continue to expand our programs and reach, the future looks bright for WMYFB. With each new participant, volunteer, and supporter, we grow stronger and more capable of enacting change. We are excited about the possibilities that lie ahead and remain committed to our mission of empowering young women through education, mentorship, and community support.
We invite you to join us on this journey—whether as a participant, a volunteer, or a supporter. Together, we can continue to make a meaningful impact and help young women everywhere feel beautiful, inside and out.
