Vision |
Our vision is to provide information and instruction relevant to being a young lady in the twenty-first century; to prepare young ladies to be critical thinkers, honest communicators, goal-oriented individuals and productive members of society; to inspire young ladies to be who God created them to be without apology and to help build relationships and trust. As Aunties Advocates, we will use advocate for our young ladies by drawing from our own knowledge, experiences and wisdom and by partnering with licensed health care professionals and established agencies and organizations who may provide professional services for our young ladies and their families
|
Who we are |
We are a community of aunties, mothers, grandmothers, licensed professionals, spiritual leaders and community members who have banded together for the purpose of educating, equipping, empowering and advocating for young ladies, ages 5-18.
|
What we provide |
We provide monthly young ladies teaching sessions using a curriculum that focuses on building self-esteem, healthy relationships, communication skills, leadership and citizenship. The sessions include practical, relevant lessons based on scriptures from the Holy Bible. We also share our own experiences, as women, to teach, answer questions and encourage our young ladies to be their best self. Our hope is that God's word and our testimonies will inspire our young ladies to be true to who they are, to make healthy decisions and to recognize unhealthy people when they come. We want our young ladies to be so holistically balanced (emotionally, physically, socially, mentally and spiritually) and inwardly secure that outside words or forces will not deter them from their confidence, peace and purpose!
Aunties provide a safe space for each young lady to engage in meaningful conversations with similar aged peers. We provide a support system for each young lady to tap into as she faces the challenges sometimes inevitable with life. Aunties provides a team of adults and peers to cheer each young lady on as she experiences success and accomplishments in school, sports, community work, etc. and as she celebrates personal growth milestones. She should also expect a team of Aunties and young ladies holding her accountable for her words and actions as she navigates life. |
