The Power Within Workshops

The Power Within program provides youth in Canada aged 10 – 17 years access to a free safe and inclusive virtual community where youth can connect with one another! The Power Within Community is a place for youth to share resources, challenge appearance pressures together and become Body Confidence Champions. The community is moderated by Plan International Canada.

The Power Within project seeks to tackle the root causes of low self-esteem and body confidence, including beauty ideals and negative body talk, that too often cause youth to opt out of leadership opportunities. To address these systemic barriers, we will work alongside youth and leaders in the beauty industry, media and other influential sectors to challenge beauty standards and promote authentic and inclusive representation of all people in Canada.

Please note this community is not a place to access mental health support or services. If you are looking for help or someone to talk to please reach out to Kids Help Phone at 1 800 668-6868.
