Mission |
Our mission is to educate and equip young ladies to be confident, whole individuals emotionally, mentally, socially, physically and spiritually; to empower young ladies 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.
In one sentence: We educate, equip and empower young ladies, ages 5-18, to be holistically well! |
Vision |
Our vision is to empower young ladies to be critical thinkers, honest communicators, goal-oriented individuals and contributing members of society; to equip 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; to educate young ladies through faith-based, researched-based pedagogy that will support them in being healthy and well.
As Aunties Advocates, we will advocate for our young ladies by drawing from our own education and life experiences 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, through our personal walk with Jesus, that the scriptures in the Holy Bible provide great insight and lessons for living a holistically healthy life, thus we use the Bible to inform and support 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 young ladies to be true to who they are, to make healthy decisions and to recognize unhealthy people when they come. We want young ladies to be so holistically balanced (socially, emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually) and inwardly secure so much so, that outside words or forces will not deter them from their confidence, peace and purpose!
