Jamii is proud to partner with the BeaYOUtiful Foundation to offer a Six-Week Confidence Building Program for girls and non-binary youth ages 8–12 in The Esplanade community. This free program provides a beautiful opportunity for young people to connect weekly with caring mentors while exploring essential topics such as self-love, confidence, media literacy, friendship, and goal-setting.

Through guided discussions, creative crafts, movement, and fun interactive activities, participants will develop a stronger sense of self-worth and confidence. The program is designed to inspire young people to recognize their value, embrace their individuality, and build meaningful connections within a safe and supportive community. Each session led by BeaYOUtiful mentors blends conversation with hands-on activities in a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space. Activities may include creative arts and crafts, worksheets, movement, role-play, and group dialogue.
