The Issue: Adolescence is a time of inevitable insecurity - body shapes change, relationships change, and hormones are raging. Girls tend to buy into the latest fads and trends because they long for a feeling of belonging. They also are looking for status symbols, often in the form of brand names, in order to gain acceptance and avoid ridicule from their peers.
True Beauty Accessories: Tools For Building Self Esteem.
True Beauty Purse
Girls are encouraged to trust their unique sense of style by creating a beautiful purse made of unexpected materials. Girls learn that fads come and go, and that our self-worth is not defined by our "stuff." We can, however, use "stuff" to express who we are. The True Beauty Purse is a powerful symbol of authenticity girls can carry with them, and a statement to peers that they are willing to step outside the box - a trademark of leadership.

The Issue:
There is a huge gap between what the media sells as "ideal" and what is reality for most of us. Girls are especially vulnerable to to the negative effects of an unrealistic standard of beauty. Many girls internalize the images they see, feel inadequate by comparison, and are depressed by the pressure to conform. They often express themselves through destructive behavior such as cutting, disordered eating, drugs, and low performance. True Beauty Workshops empower girls with tools to navigate a world that isn't always "girl-friendly."
The Purpose:
The mission of True Beauty Workshops is to empower girls to realize their True Beauty and reach their full potential.
True Beauty Globe
Girls define their highest value, by which to measure their decisions and take responsibility for their destiny, as they create a beautiful globe that represents their world. The process of creating the True Beauty Globe is an opportunity for self exploration. The globe is a symbol to inspire girls to be the subject of their own beautiful lives, rather than a beautiful object in the lives of others.
