About Us
Nurturing Young Potential for a Brighter Tomorrow
At Heba Mawad Legacy, we believe in the boundless potential of every young girl.
We are a non-profit organization dedicated to inspiring and empowering young girls aged 13-17. Our mission is to equip them with the skills, mindset, and confidence they need to navigate and excel in their environments while preserving their cultural, ethnic, and traditional identities.
Our Vision
At Heba Mawad Legacy, we envision a future where self-reliant young women confidently engage with their communities and realize their full potential and conviction.
About Our Program
Gift of Life
Our flagship program, “Gift of Life,” is designed to provide young girls from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and high-risk urban and rural communities with the tools they need to secure a confident and resilient future. We achieve this by fostering connections with their communities, offering mentorship, and nurturing their cultural identity. The program operates during the academic year in partnership with schools, community centers, and private organizations, ensuring accessibility to as many girls as possible.
Core Elements of Our Program
Career Pathways
We introduce young girls to various career paths, connect them with industry professionals, and provide guidance to help them make informed college and career decisions.
Physical Fitness
Our fitness program includes physical activities and nutrition education to promote healthy and active lifestyles and body confidence. This program also helps prevent childhood obesity.
Connections
We provide girls with connections and experiences that broaden their arts, culture, and athletics horizons. Through field trips to the High Museum or attending a professional sports event, they gain insights into what is possible beyond their current reality and a better understanding of their potential.
Divine Love
We take our girls on deep spiritual explorations by teaching them to draw strength from divine sources and address their fears. We engage in discussions that help build a strong mind, body, and soul.
At Your Service
Our girls will contribute their time and talent to support our community and make this world a better place. This service will allow them to gain clear perspectives, develop new skills, build connections with their peers, connect with their inner strength, and discover a genuine sense of purpose.
Our Core Values
Our values are the heart of our program, and they guide everything we do:
Support
We provide a safe and caring environment for girls to explore their potential, build confidence, and develop a positive self-image.
Personal Accountability
We encourage girls to live healthy lives and foster a connection with the natural world.
Mentorship
We create opportunities for young women to build long-lasting networks through trusted mentoring relationships and empowering connections with other young women.
Integrity
We celebrate diversity, promote inclusion, maintain transparency, and foster community connections.
Acceptance
We support all our participants unconditionally; however, they may wish to express or identify.
