Boys & Girls Clubs Hosted 100 Girls for Dove Self-Esteem Workshop

boys and girls club dove event

On Saturday, December 15, from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Dove and Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee united for a self-esteem workshop for 100 girls. The event is part of the Dove Self-Esteem Project, a nationwide initiative to raise awareness for the need to help girls form a positive self-image. The Dove Self Esteem Project has reached more than 20 million young people so far.

Dove research has found that six out of ten girls stop doing activities they love because they feel anxiety about the way they look. Through its #HourWithHer campaign, Dove hopes to shine a light on the girls who continue doing what they love.

The workshop was held at the Cleveland Park Clubhouse in East Nashville. The event was led by Boys & Girls Clubs’ staff and included special guest Arrionna C., Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee’s 2018 Youth of the Year. Sessions included, but were not limited to: Girls Rock!, “Writing Your Script,” “Power of Language,” “I Like Me As I Am,” and “Health & Hygiene.”
