Our 10-12 week mentoring and leadership program curriculum teaches life skills to high school and college students through our Beauty for Freedom mentorships and workshop series. This platform cultivates change-making ideas as our students execute their own ideas for advocacy campaigns and product lines supporting human rights activism. The youth are nurturing their advocacy and activism skills as they empower and support local non-profits, on-campus youth groups, local advocacy platforms and their own hopes and dreams of changing the world. Our students are encouraged to utilize their innovative ideas on philanthropy and advocacy in a creative open space and to collaborate with fellow classmates building confidence and a sense of community within their teams and schools.

 

 

Each Course Includes:
Group Discussions on Youth Issues
Creative Writing & Creative Arts
Design, Production & Marketing
Advocacy & Activism Campaign Creation
Ideation Sessions
Call-To-Action

A large part of our Beauty for Freedom platform includes mentoring and nurturing high school students and college students engaging them in advocating for human rights as equal rights. These youth are uplifting their schools with positive messaging around equality, tolerance, freedom and many other issues affecting communities locally and globally. They are the future voices for global issues.
