Awesome Ambitions Awesome Ambitions is a 501c (3) mentoring and college preparatory program for high school girls in the metropolitan area. We also focus on health and nutrition.

Awesome Ambitions empowers, educates, and equips young ladies in 8th through 12th-grade in underserved communities to know their value and develop a plan for future success in wellness, education, and careers. Our purpose is to help our girls set goals for their future, help them define their own success, to plan how to achieve that success and to help them believe that they are capable of accomplishing and deserving of that success. We help build confidence and self-esteem, we stress the importance of getting a good education and explore college and career paths. We meet the first Saturday in each month which includes community service and team building projects, college visits and field trips. Our 2014 Awesome Ambitions graduates were awarded over $70,000 in scholarships for college.

THIS is what leadership looks like. 👑

Our Awesome Ambitions girls are finding their voices, building confidence, and learning that they can lead right now.

During our Vision for My Future experience, our girls stepped forward, shared their thoughts, and began envisioning the women they are becoming.

💕 The vision starts with them. The next move is theirs.

VISION FOR MY FUTURE

What happens when young women are given the space to pause, dream, reflect, and declare the future they want for themselves?

They begin to see that their future is something they can help shape.

On September 25, our Awesome Ambitions high school girls gathered at the Plaza Library for an inspiring “Vision for My Future” experience, bringing together our Health & Wellness and Leadership, Advocacy & Impact pillars.

Our girls were challenged to think beyond who they are today and imagine who they are becoming.

With guidance from our phenomenal speaker, Pamela Scott, the girls explored:

Who Am I Today? + My Future Self
Creating a Vision for My Future
Leadership & Decision-Making
Leadership Scenarios
Choices, Confidence & My Future
Goals + My Next Move
My Future Declaration

Through reflection and meaningful conversation, our girls were encouraged to think about how their choices today can influence the lives they want to build tomorrow.

And perhaps most importantly, they were given an opportunity to declare their vision for their future.

At Awesome Ambitions, we don't just tell girls to dream, we empower, educate, and equip them with the tools to turn those dreams into a plan for success.

Because the future isn't something they simply wait for.

They are preparing to create it.

FINDING MY VOICE

Today, 40 incredible 8th-grade girls from Kansas City Public Schools and Hickman Mills Schools came together for an Awesome Ambitions experience focused on finding their voice and owning their worth.

Our girls spent the day at MCC–Penn Valley Education Center with our amazing speaker, Kira (Lajune) Ashby , exploring what it means to:

🗣️ Find your voice
💗 Know your worth
✨ Build confidence
🎯 Set meaningful goals
🤝🏽 Know that you belong

We want our Awesome Girls to understand that their voice matters, their dreams matter, and there is a place in this world that only they can fill.

Thank you, Kira , for pouring into our girls and encouraging them to speak up, stand tall, and believe in who they are becoming!

This is what Awesome Ambitions is all about. Empowering, educating, and equipping young ladies to know their value and develop a plan for future success.

We’re just getting started, Awesome Girls!
