Empowering Youth To Become MORE THAN They Ever Imagined by Removing Boxes and Breaking Stigmas
Our Mission
​
More Than A Model is committed to serving underserved, underrepresented youth while developing social and emotional capabilities to ensure overall well-being and success. We are dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive environment for these young people to learn and grow.
​
We believe that building confidence and developing leadership in the youth of today will create strong leaders of tomorrow and close the opportunity gap and ultimately the wealth gap.
By inspiring and qualifying youth of underserved communities to look their best (with available resources), feel their best (addressing the whole person) so that they can do their best we are deliberate in creating opportunities of self-expression through fashion, empowering them to be themself amid a world of social media influencers and other personas, and creating authentic relationships by focusing on similarities and learning from differences.
​
Through this programming, youth are given the opportunity to learn and grow, enabling them to excel beyond the challenges they face. By removing stigmas and enhancing self-awareness, More Than a Model provides solutions to help youth reach their fullest potential.
