MISSION The Jean Augustine Centre for Young Women’s Empowerment is committed to building the self-esteem and self-worth of young women and girls by positively influencing their outlook on life, broadening their horizons, and helping them to empower themselves. VISION To enrich the lives of girls ages 7 to 17 years old with opportunities that place special emphasis on personal development and experiential learning. CORE VALUES Empowerment is essential for young women and girls to develop the skills, and acquire knowledge, information and the resources they need to achieve a high quality of life and optimum health and wellbeing. Mentorship is long term, centered in community and built around relationships between positive adult role models and young women facing challenges in their social and personal lives. Embodying responsible leadership with integrity, from a shared vision that inspires and motivates, and with the capacity to grow through change and deliver sustainable outcomes, perfects the ability to enable others to greatness. Civic Engagement is working to make a difference in communities. It is essential as young women and girls become empowered that they learn the importance of giving back and helping to build thriving communities.
