Empowering Through Education

Empowering Through Education Intro 700x313

More than half of girls lose confidence during puberty, with the onset of menstruation marking the lowest point confidence. One of the key reasons for this is a lack of information. Two out of every three girls who enter puberty don’t know enough about what is happening to their bodies. Always wants to change that.

Always Puberty & Confidence Education Program

The Always Puberty and Confidence Education Program has helped girls, teachers and parents for more than 35 years by providing free educational resources and samples that help girls understand the changes they will go through during puberty and how to cope with them. It also teaches confidence-building skills and educate both boys and girls about the changes they’ll go through at puberty.
