Mentoring Girls, Creating Leaders

It is very easy to tell girls, ‘Be strong, you are beautiful, you are capable, don’t do this, do that, don’t worry about that, who cares what others think, etc. What is missing is the idea of instilling worth. How do we raise a girl to feel she is worthy — worthy of good friends, worthy of healthy relationships, worthy of speaking her mind and of being heard, worthy of her dreams, worthy of trying something nobody else has done?

If someone doesn’t feel worthy, they might do something they don’t really want to do, because they don’t have the courage or strength to say so. They may be coming from a place of fear rather than a place of personal love, respect, and power.

Caprecia Cares Workshops teaches girls that they are valuable and have a voice, by giving them information and tools to use. When girls feel confident about their bodies, their intelligence, their worthiness, and their sexuality, they have the opportunity to go into the world and fully express themselves — as girls, as women, as humans.

If we spend too much time having conversations with ourselves about not being good enough, pretty enough, sexy enough, or accepted enough, we are limiting ourselves to what we think the world thinks of us, rather than putting forth what we think of ourselves, what we find important, what we want to contribute to the world.

The primary goal of Caprecia Cares Workshops is to educate, empower, and inspire girls by raising awareness, developing communication skills, and cultivating self-respect.
