The “I Am” Weekly Program is designed to support young girls aged 8-13 in developing foundational “I Am” statements that serve as both affirmations of their current identity and aspirations for who they are becoming. These statements will not only boost their confidence and self-awareness but also help them practice introducing themselves authentically and confidently in various social and professional settings.
This program offers a safe, supportive environment where participants can explore their strengths, values, and dreams, building the skills necessary for effective self-expression.
The program will culminate on June 21, 2025 with the BAISIC “Tea and Twirls” Event, where the girls will present their “I Am” statements to an audience of family, friends, and mentors, celebrating their growth and achievements.
Meetings will be held in-person, in Mount Vernon, NY. Location will be provided to participants after registration.
