Since joining M.E.A.N. Girls Empowerment, I've improved academically, physically, and emotionally. I've gained confidence, made friends, and networked through community service and events. This program has given me new perspectives on success and self-love. I'm grateful for the mentors and experiences that inspire me to lead others.

Participating in "M.E.A.N. Girls" has boosted my self-confidence, independence, and emotional management. I also made new friends, improved relationships and realized that I don't always need to know someone beforehand to fit in. I am grateful and have grown as a person.
