Mission |
Our mission is to educate, equip and empower young ladies, ages 5-18, to be intentional about improving and enhancing their personal well-being; to advocate for young ladies in support of their personal health and well-being.
|
Vision |
Our mission is to prepare young ladies to be critical thinkers, honest communicators, goal-oriented individuals and contributing members of society; to inspire young ladies to be confident in their gifts, strengths and abilities without apology and to be willing to make adjustments, as needed, for lifelong learning and growth.
As Aunties Advocates, we will 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 teaching sessions using a curriculum that focuses on building self-esteem, healthy relationships, communication skills, leadership, citizenship and more taught in a practical relevant manner. While we do not teach religion or conversion, we have found that the scriptures in the Bible provide great insight and lessons for living, thus we use this book to inform our teachings. 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 to 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 (socially, emotionally, mentally, physically 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 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. |
Our Future Plans |
To continue with community outreach, host events to support the community, host fundraising and sponsor events, food distribution for young ladies and their families, and support as many young ladies around the world as possibly to be whole, healthy and confident.
To purchase a building to host our teaching sessions and events and to purchase a van or bus for outreach and field trips. |
