Example

A group of middle school girls participated in a community-based confidence and leadership program. Through guided discussions, real-life scenarios, and collaborative activities, participants developed their decision-making, communication, and self-confidence skills. By the end of the program, students reported greater clarity, confidence, and willingness to speak up in school and peer settings.
