Because Every Girl has a Dream.
Beautiful People is a volunteer project that aims to create a platform for professionals and skilled persons to share skills and spend time with teen girls associated with various community organisations, including family service centres, welfare homes and youth outreach organisations, in Singapore.
Beautiful People is a forum through which volunteers are able to positively impact lives through mentoring, skills exchange and friendship.
Beautiful People's vision is for girls in our community to live with dignity and respect for themselves and others. Our aim is to encourage awareness and appreciation for each individual's strengths and unique beauty. We advocate that however beautiful one is on the outside, it is being beautiful inside that is, by far, more important.
Our goal is to share and teach important life skills to the teens and to expose them to hobbies that are fun, meaningful and productive.
Specifically, we aim to help teens:
•Develop a sense of self-respect, dignity and purpose:
•Develop life-skills that will enable them to procure and retain productive and dignified employment
•Develop hobbies that are fun and stress-relieving to showcase talents or develop creativity
•Form close friendships with Mentors and Big Sisters
•Develop healthy and positive social relationships with family and friends
This is facilitated through close relationships between our volunteers and teen girls (aged 11-18 years) in different Neighbourhood Teams across Singapore. Our volunteers act as Big Sisters or mentors to the girls, and ensure that each and every girl who needs support has easy access to a listening ear.
