“I am smart. I am strong. I am special.”

This is the affirmation that begins every LiveGirl Confidence Club meeting. In a room full of middle school girls, saying this affirmation loudly while doing hand-motions can, at first, feel awkward! But affirmations are impossible to avoid at LiveGirl Confidence Clubs. Icebreakers often include questions like, “What is one thing you like about yourself?” “What is something that you are proud of accomplishing?” “What is something you are great at?” Confidence Club is, in many ways, a practice in learning how to say good things about yourself.
