Foundations For The Future: 101

* Our Mission: “To encourage young girls between the ages of 12 and 18 to embrace a healthy self esteem, cultivate a solid character, and achieve their dreams. “

* Our Movement: Passionistas: The "Passionista Movement" utilizes an atypical approach to educating young women on the importance of embracing a healthy self-esteem, cultivating a solid character, and achieving their dreams. Girls will be taught to break free of the pressures to become "Fashionistas" alone; young women who are driven by outward beauty, material things, and the accumulation of that which is fleeting, and instead strive to become "Passionistas"; young women who are powerful, purposeful, and passionate. The Passionista Movement will ultimately encourage girls to "beYOUtiful" and embrace the unique traits and intrinsic characteristics that make them each unique.

* Our Motto: beYOUtiful, because whoever you are is splendidly unique! Oscar Wilde said it best “Be yourself; everyone else is taken”

* Our Motive: We Believe That...

> Civic involvement and social responsibility promote an intrinsic sense of worth.
> Every young woman deserves the opportunity to explore and pursue her dreams.
> Mending negative self-images in young women will ultimately strengthen the community both locally and nationally.
> Embracing diversity and exploring cultural trends will promote education and academic achievement.
