Melanie Marie Gems & Jewels is a youth empowerment and mentoring organization established to promote the arts for young women. Melanie Marie started as an accessory line, however has always been dedicated to the healthy development of young women and girls. Melanie Marie Gems & Jewels seeks to build the self-esteem and self-worth of young women of by changing their outlook on life, broadening their horizons, and helping them to empower themselves.

MM Gems & Jewels offers the opportunity to enrich the lives of girls aged 10 to 18 years old through mentorship, arts education, cultural exploration and public service. With Gems & Jewels young women are offered access to enrichment programs and opportunities that place special emphasis on personal development through the arts and cooperative learning. Gems & Jewels will give girls exposure to professionals that they would not normally have had the chance to encounter.

By speaking to the next generation in their formative years about issues of self-worth, goals, and aspirations, the organization reinforces the message that young women need not objectify themselves or relinquish their autonomy.

For more information or how to register a young woman, please contact GemsAndJewels@jewelry.melaniemarie.com. If you would like Melanie to come speak to your school or organization feel free to let us know as well. The Mentorship program will begin early 2014, so register now to reserve a spot. The meeting times will be every other Saturday. We may take field trips on other days of the week.

Give a young lady the chance to be apart of a huge network that not only motivates her to be great but requires her to always push for what she wants and obtain her goals in life to help her reach her full potential.

BE THE POSITIVE CHANGE YOU WANT TO SEE!
