Join Us in Building a Better Tomorrow
About
Today's teens are tomorrow's leaders, which is why investing in their development is crucial. While they may receive their academic foundation at school, their everyday environment, their home life, the media and countless other things influence who they become, and ultimately the decisions they make.
Once the single mother of a teenage girl, I have firsthand experience with what types of pressures teenagers face on a daily basis, and I can assure you their world is full of constant difficult decisions. After witnessing the experiences her daughter and peers encountered it became clear that in order to have a personal foundation of self respect, self motivation and a sense of integrity to make positive choices, teenagers need encouragement and guidance.

An image of me created a safe place for my daughter yet challenging in helping her recognize her potential and provided her with the guidance needed to work towards it. The coaches each with their different approaches helped my daughter grow into this confident young lady, striving to excel in school, think and act independently, and reject negative influences that could impact her success in life. Overall, a great program designed to gear our young girls to blossom in their full potential.

As a longtime supporter and volunteer at An Image of Me (AIM), I have a witness firsthand the impact is organization has on the lives of young girls. The dedicated commitment of Founder, Penelope Carr-Bates was evident in every element of the program. From leadership workshops & educational programs to mentorship opportunities and community service projects, AIM provided a comprehensive support system of development for every participant. My daughter was one of those participants. I am proud to have been a part of such an expiring organization, dedicated to empowering the next generation of female leaders.
