Mission
BODY EMPOWERMENT PROJECT RUNS EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS SURROUNDING BODY IMAGE AND SELF-ESTEEM FOR COLLEGE, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN PHILADELPHIA. OUR MISSION IS TO TEACH PARTICIPANTS THE SKILLS TO LIVE PEACEFULLY AND HEALTHFULLY IN THEIR BODIES THROUGH MEANINGFUL NEAR-PEER INTERACTIONS. BECAUSE OUR PROGRAMS, IN PART, SERVE LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE ORGANIZATION COVERS 100% OF PROGRAM EXPENSES IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE ANY BARRIERS TO PROGRAM ENTRY FOR PROSPECTIVE PARTICIPANTS. OUR 501(C3)(3) TAX EXEMPT STATUS ALLOWS US TO OPERATE CHARITABLY RATHER THAN FOR-PROFIT, ALLOWING US TO CONTINUE SERVING THIS POPULATION.
Program accomplishments
- OUR YOUTH PROGRAM IS A TEN-WEEK, AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS. THE PROGRAM SEEKS TO REDUCE EATING DISORDER RISK BY INTRODUCING PREVENTATIVE INTERVENTION COMBINING A VALIDATED BODY POSITIVITY CURRICULUM WITH AN INNOVATIVE NEAR-PEER MENTORSHIP MODEL. IN 2023, OUR PROGRAM REACHED OVER 400 STUDENTS ACROSS 17 PHILADELPHIA PUBLIC MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOLS. STATISTICAL ANALYSES OF OUR OUTCOMES DATA SHOWED A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN EATING DISORDER SYMPTOMS MEASURED IN OUR PROGRAM PARTICIPANTS AS WELL AS A SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT IN BODY APPRECIATION. THE TESTIMONIALS FROM OUR STUDENTS ALSO HIGHLIGHT THE IMPORTANCE OF OUR WORK. WHEN ASKED WHAT THEY LIKED ABOUT OUR PROGRAM, STUDENTS SAID: "BEP IS ALL ABOUT LOVING EVERY PART OF YOURSELF AND WHEN YOU DO, YOU'LL BE UNSTOPPABLE." "BEING ABLE TO WORK TOGETHER AND KNOW YOU'RE NOT ALONE. PEOPLE CAN HAVE THE SAME SGTRUGGLE AND THERE ARE OTHERS THAT CAN BE THERE TO SUPPORT YOU."
