empowHER Workshops

The Self-Confidence Coaching Workshop is an empowerment-based personal development series designed to help participants, particularly women and girls from underserved or transitional communities, build lasting self-worth, overcome internal barriers, and unlock their full potential. Through guided coaching sessions, experiential activities, group discussions, and self-reflection exercises, the workshop fosters a supportive environment that encourages personal growth, identity reclamation, and emotional healing.

Participants engage in topics such as self-awareness, cultivating a positive mindset, setting healthy boundaries, speaking with authority, overcoming self-doubt, and establishing vision-aligned goals.

Young adults and youth who receive money management education when the principles are most relevant to their stage of life, are more likely to take those skills into adulthood. Without intentionally exposing young children to financial concepts and educating pre-teens and teens on proper money management practices, they will inevitably pick up poor money habits. We don’t want to leave our youth’s future financial management skills to chance. 

EmpowHer offers programs for both school-age youth and young adults, so we can provide age-appropriate financial education during a young person’s formative years.

Program Goals:

• Teach basic financial management concepts.
• Develop skills in budgeting and money management.
• Encourage responsible saving and investing.
• Promote wise consumer choices.
• Foster an understanding of credit and debt.
• Provide resources for future financial planning.

Program Impact

• Improved Financial Knowledge: Participants gain practical skills in budgeting, saving, credit building, debt management, and understanding financial systems.
   
• Increased Economic Confidence: Participants report feeling more empowered to make day-to-day and long-term financial decisions.
   
• Behavioral Shifts: Many participants begin practicing consistent saving habits, reducing debt, improving credit scores, and avoiding predatory financial products.

Purpose: This interactive workshop is designed to equip teens and young adults for employment, internships, and career direction.

Who it serves: Teens and young adults, especially those with limited networks, limited work experience, or disrupted schooling.

The Vision Board Workshop is a guided, hands-on experience designed to help participants clarify their goals, ignite personal motivation, and visually map out their future. Centered around self-reflection, strategic goal-setting, and creative expression, this workshop empowers youth and adults—particularly those overcoming adversity—to envision possibilities beyond their current circumstances. Through facilitated exercises, participants are encouraged to reconnect with their dreams, define purposeful goals, and activate their faith and focus through vision alignment.
