Did you know?
Statistics show that 5000 youth ages 15 to 24 are successful every year at taking their lives. There are 12 successful youth suicides everyday. 1 is too many!
Our goal is that the wings of every youth in the B.U.T.T.E.R.F.L.Y program unfold, revealing the true beauty within themselves and the world around them. Through mindful guidance and real life education, we strive to break through the false sense of reality perpetuated by popular culture, social media, and entertainment. Our vision is to cultivate a generation of respectful, self-loving, understanding, educated, compassionate, resilient, and socially conscious youth who not only recognize their worth, but also understand the profound impact they can have on the world. A purpose only they can fulfill!
Thinking back as an adult…
- Did you ever feel misunderstood as a child?
- Did you feel like you didn’t fit in anywhere?
- Did you ever feel like your voice didn’t matter?
- Did you ever feel unsure about whether you were loved or not?
- Was there ever something that you felt like you needed, but wasn’t given that could’ve changed the direction of your life?
If you did, then you know how our children are feeling, and you understand them more than you think you do. You also realize that they are dealing with so much worse because of the access at their fingertips. We must listen to what they are saying/not saying and look for any changes in their mood and attitude.
Having been bullied while struggling with feelings of low self-esteem, low self-worth and feeling misunderstood, elementary, middle and high school were hard for me. I felt like how I was feeling didn’t matter, like I didn’t matter. My experiences weren’t isolated. Many youth struggle with these same emotions every single day! Just like a Butterfly, our youth go through different stages. This 12 – week program is designed to help 6th through 12th graders (ages 12 – 18) navigate each stage of their life with love, support, patience and understanding while securing their mental, emotional and social wellbeing. We must advocate for our youth and teach them how to rise above their circumstances.
