Confidence Builders

Confidence Builders for ages 9–12 is designed to support children as they begin to explore identity, independence, and new social dynamics. These workshops build on the foundations of self-expression, introducing creative activities, digital content, and peer interaction that help participants find their voice in fun and practical ways. Each workshop is crafted to boost confidence, encourage resilience, and give young people the tools to communicate clearly in the spaces that matter most to them.

Below is a list of our current workshops — and stay tuned, as we’ll be developing even more in the weeks and months ahead.
