Our Mission
We’re in the midst of an epidemic. Our young women are bombarded with images and messages that glorify perfection as thin and beautiful. In some instances, they also have inadequate education on the merits of healthy, active, nutritious living. As a result, our young women are falling short--failing to realize how extraordinary they are. Instead they focus on everything they are not.
We empower girls and women by providing them with resources, opportunities and experiences to use physical movement as a tool to build confidence and self-worth.

"Movement is a program that lets girls be themselves, while also letting them bond with other girls in their school. Movement is a great opportunity for girls to show the real side of themselves without being judged" -Luna

“Teaching them this curriculum aids in fighting so many stigmas and difficult topics we all faced growing up. I wish I had this growing up, it would’ve helped me to skip over that part of rebuilding and retraining my mind about body image.” Shonna Chiles, Movemeant Mentor

“Partnering with the Movemeant Foundation has had a profound impact on the Mission Dolores Academy Middle School community. Each week, the curriculum discussed as group compels students to face their fears, challenge social norms, and celebrate both themselves and their bodies, while in tandem, moving and working together, as a team. They begin to relate on levels never before explored based upon conversations around shared experiences. Facades of indifference give way to vulnerability. Friendships are forged, relationships are strengthened, and community thrives under the leadership and guidance of the Foundation’s mentors.” Meredith Essalat, Principal at Mission Dolores Academy, San Francisco
