OUR CORE VALUES
Identity
Confidence is the foundation for success! If we want girls to become effective leaders, bold risk-takers and ambitious problem-solvers, it is essential that we teach girls how to be confident in their identity and create space for them to explore what it means to be self-aware.
Community
Cultivating a sense of community with friends, mentors and peers has been proven to increase self-esteem, help women navigate emotions, reduce stress, stay inspired and ultimately, feel empowered. We want all iShapeMe Girls to feel a sense of belonging.
Opportunity
Exposure is key in helping girls see what they can be. We create and provide opportunities for girls to take a peak into various career fields and extracurricular activities in the arts, STEM, sports and more.

“It is said that girls with dreams become women with vision. May we empower each other to carry out such vision because it isn’t enough to simply talk about equality — one must believe in it. And it isn’t enough to simply believe in it — one must work at it. Let us work at it together.”
