M.O.V.E. Event

JGMS Guidance was thrilled to host a M.O.V.E empowerment workshop for almost 50 girls on Wednesday, January 18th. M.O.V.E is a program created by UMASS Amherst student, Ashley Olafsen and Hopkinton High School Senior, Lexi Phipps. Both girls are passionate about creating a safe space for girls to share their experiences and wanted to create, “an organization that promotes self confidence, body positivity, and the empowerment of females through workshops and summer programs”. Ashley is the author of the book, Survival of the Prettiest, which is an interactive workbook highlighting a variety of important teen issues.  More information about her book can be found at http://www.ashleyolafsen.com/survival-of-the-prettiest.
