ABOUT US
Behind the Scenes
Here at For Women and More, we see the value in everyone. We want to be a catalyst for positive change, and since our beginnings in 2019, we’ve been driven by the same ideas we initially founded our Non-Profit Organization upon: support, empowerment, and progress. Learn more about our mission, our vision, and how we go about making the changes we want to see.
For women and More is a Nonprofit organization that was established in 2018 to promote gender equality and women empowerment. The organization has a sole purpose of recognizing and appreciating the personal progress and growth of young women in Liberian communities in the diaspora and Africa at large. We recognize and honor young Women in Excellence. We will host annual events to promote productivity and personal growth of young women. It is going to be a celebration of Personal Progress and growth, that focuses on the good things young women are accomplishing in their lives.
We recognize and honor young Women in Excellence. We will host annual events for all young women in Liberian Communities in the diaspora and Liberia as well. It is a celebration of Personal Progress and growth, that focuses on the good things young women are accomplishing in their lives. Each woman has a unique quality to her that sets her apart and makes her to stand out.
We are agents of change, preaching and teaching positivity, confidence and self-worth.
There is so much animosity and negativity going on among us as young women, we need to come together and give each other flowers.
VALUES STATEMENT
We envision a world in which all girls and young women, regardless of race, ethnicity, income level or social status, are nurtured and empowered to reach their fullest potential.
All members of our organization are committed to these enduring values:
Commitment: We are committed to helping young women reach their utmost potential, and build confidence. We promote positivity inner strengths, develop authentic voices, and engage in growth-fostering relationships. As a team, we are creative, passionate, caring, detail-oriented, grounded in theory and research, and excelling in the services we provide.
Community and connection: We believe that personal growth comes from self love and confidence, of the “whole self” (emotional, physical, intellectual, relational, cultural, and spiritual) is fostered through meaningful connections and community. We support our sisters in enhancing their authentic relationships with themselves, with friends, family, and with their other circles of connection. We are dedicated to promoting growth-fostering relationships, not only in the lives of our sisters, but among ourselves, and with the larger communities in which we live and work.
Ethical stance: We adhere to the highest aspirational ethics. We provide a safe place to grow – where confidentiality, compassion, respect, trustworthiness, competence, integrity and appreciation of human diversity are the guiding principles.
Research and Theory: Our services are grounded in an asset-based model of programming that integrates important cutting-edge psychological research and theory with compassion.
Inspiration: We draw inspiration from social movements, past and present, that have sought to make a difference in the lives of young women around the world. We are indebted to those who have come before us, those who have worked tirelessly for women’s suffrage, women’s education, civil rights, gender equality, and women’s health. We carry a profound appreciation of this history into our 21st-century work.
