About ESF
The Elsie Soars Foundation aims to empower and uplift underserved communities, with a specific focus on African-American communities and girls aged 11-17, by providing comprehensive programs and resources in health, wellness, education, mentorship, arts, and advocacy.
Our Five-Step Engagement System
Health & Wellness
Prioritize physical and mental well-being through comprehensive programs
Education
Academic support, skill-building workshops, and mentorship opportunities for success.
Mentorship
Meaningful connections, guidance, and support for personal and professional growth.
Arts
Foster creativity, self-expression, and community through diverse artistic programs.
Advocacy
Empower participants to become agents of positive change and advocacy.
KNOWLEDGE
Grow their creative confidence
Each creative activity prompt is an opportunity for your daugther to embrace a new challenge. Through hands-on learning, your child is more likely to remain engaged and to build upon their creative problem-solving skills.
RESOURCES
Activities you can work on together
While our programs encourage your daughters to become better independent learners, we’ve also included special opportunities for you to work together.
WELLNESS
Practices to ensure their well-being.
Your daughters will learn the importance of self-love and self-care through our programming. Young women learn how to manage emotions, team-building activities, and how to become more vulnerable.
All tween activities require adult supervision. Programs are for Tweens (11–12) & Teens (13-18).
