BODY EMPOWERMENT PROJECT CORPORATION

BODY EMPOWERMENT PROJECT CORPORATION BODY EMPOWERMENT PROJECT RUNS EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOPS SURROUNDING BODY IMAGE AND SELF-ESTEEM FOR COLLEGE, MIDDLE, AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS IN PHILADELPHIA. OUR MISSION IS TO TEACH PARTICIPANTS THE SKILLS TO LIVE PEACEFULLY AND HEALTHFULLY IN THEIR BODIES THROUGH MEANINGFUL NEAR-PEER INTERACTIONS. BECAUSE OUR PROGRAMS, IN PART, SERVE LOW-INCOME STUDENTS, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE ORGANIZATION COVERS 100% OF PROGRAM EXPENSES IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE ANY BARRIERS TO PROGRAM ENTRY FOR PROSPECTIVE PARTICIPANTS. OUR 501(C3)(3) TAX EXEMPT STATUS ALLOWS US TO OPERATE CHARITABLY RATHER THAN FOR-PROFIT, ALLOWING US TO CONTINUE SERVING THIS POPULATION.
