The Freedom to Grow web site focuses on positive body awareness, self-confidence, and creative, critical thinking skills.
Communication skills needed to handle peer and societal pressures are also explored.
We emphasize the importance of media awareness and literacy. Freedom to Grow is a place where girls come to have fun as they discover new attitudes and skills. We want girls to be informed critics of media messages. We want girls to learn how to dampen the impact that these messages can have on their self-esteem. We want girls to share that feeling of empowerment with other young women.
