Our Mission
"To Encourage, Empower, and Elevate young women by providing them with resources to reach their dreams."
Our 4 Pillars
S.W.A.G. is built on four core pillars: Self-Esteem, Self-Worth, Reflection, and Journaling . These pillars are crucial because they emphasize our commitment to recognizing and nurturing each individual’s unique value. By focusing on these aspects, we ensure that each student feels valued and empowered. In addition to offering scholarships, S.W.A.G. provides a platform for workshops. Its signature program, the “I Am…” workshop, fosters conversation and reflection while giving teachers a valuable tool to continue discussions about self-esteem in the classroom.
What we've done
Founded in 2019, Scholars With Athletic/Artistic/Academic Goals ( S.W.A.G.) has awarded over 20 honor roll scholars and reached more than 1,800 students through speaking engagements in the past three years. The organization has also expanded the Tuition Endowment for the Jada J. Smith Distinguished Student-Athlete Award, enhancing its impact on young women's academic and athletic success.
