How Do We Help?

Maximize Potential

We want girls to feel limitless. That’s why we expose girls to a breadth of subjects and activities, that encourage them to learn new skills and remain intellectually curious.

A Community of Support

When girls come to the Jean Augustine Centre, they can count on being surrounded by a supportive community of peers and mentors who believe in them and their potential to do amazing things!

Nurture Confidence

In adolescence, girls' confidence decreases dramatically. That's why we work to combat the ‘confidence gap’ through programs that help girls feel capable and empowered.
