WHAT IS S.O.A.R. GIRL!? :

S.O.A.R. Girl! is a virtual program for girls ( 8-18 years old) created to provide empowerment, development, recreation, mentorship and opportunities to build relationships with peers all across the world.

We want to encourage our girls to S.O.A.R!!!

S - Strive for EXCELLENCE

O- Overcome all Obstacles

A- Achieve Your Goals

R- REPEAT & reach HIGHER

Our motto: Strive ….Overcome….Achieve...Repeat.

Why is the S.OA.R. Girl! Program important?

• According to Dove ( 2017) , only 4% of women around the world consider themselves beautiful and only 11% are comfortable describing themselves as “beautiful.”
• Over half the girls in the world do not have high body esteem which negatively impacts their assertiveness, self-efficacy and increases the likelihood of developing eating disorders or other health issues ( Dove, 2017)
• Low self esteem is linked to negative emotions ( fear, anxiety or depression), bullying, violence, school dropout rates, teenage pregnancy and low academic achievement ( Misetich & Delis-Abrams, 2003)
• Our goal is to provide interventions to help girls develop healthy self-esteem and evolve into powerful, courageous and confident leaders.
• In addition, the current global pandemic will have significant emotional and mental health impacts on both children and adults. Our programs provide therapeutic interventions to support girls in expressing their emotions, develop coping strategies and improve their overall well-being.
