V. Project Description /Need Statement
According to the Dove Self Esteem campaign, research has shown that 7 in 10 girls believe they
are not good enough or do not measure up in some way, including their looks, performance in
school and relationships with family and friends ". We live in a world where youth are forced to
measure their worth based on the standards that society has set and our goal is to use our skills
as an educator and motivational speaker to provide structure, inspiration, and hope.
SWAG (Succeeding with Audacious Goals) is designed to teach young women how to be Young
Bosses. Our target group will be young women between the ages of 12 -18. We will be partnering
with Indian Springs High School to encourage and empower the young women to create and live
out a positive vision for their lives. SWAG will be a creative arts project where young women will
have the opportunity to: make vision boards that will help increase their confidence in themselves,
discuss topics geared towards self- esteem, goal setting, classroom success, life, finances,
values, and career plans. We will help them to build a strong creative self- image, think and plan
for the future, and empower them to be the best they can be to impact change in their school,
community, and world. At the end of the 10 weeks each young lady will present their canvas
vision board that they created at a banquet for their friends, family, and the community at large.

IX. Future Objectives
Our future plans for additional funding is to reach out to other neighboring businesses and
organizations that would provide donations towards the materials and gifts for the young ladies. For
example, donations of books related to confidence, gift cards for clothes for interviews, school supplies,
and materials needed for their vision boards. If we do not receive funding from the Fine Arts
Commission, we will continue to push our idea with other businesses and organizations within the
community. We have already connected with the Boys and Girls Club of San Bernardino to partner with
them in recruitment efforts.

X. Provide a brief history /background of your organization /school project (s). (What you have
done before in this category of the arts.
The SWAG Project was originated from Chasta Jefforson's mentoring group within Indian
Springs. The idea then expanded with Whitley Porter when they discovered that in order to see
the results they are looking for within young women they need to give them goal setting tools to
accomplish their dream along with spiritual, emotional, and physical health mentoring and
guidance.
The Project Officer's for SWAG are Chasta Jefferson, an experienced teacher within the San
Bernardino Unified School District, and Whitley Porter who is currently a Program
Representative at Azusa Pacific University. Both of these women are extremely involved in the
community and have a heart for serving underprivileged women in the city of San Bernardino.
They have partnered with local churches, youth organizations, and women's shelters to assist
with conferences and events that resource young women and adults in the area of self esteem,
character development, hygiene and spiritual and emotional health. They have been actively
involved in a women's conference for the past two years that helps to build the self esteem of
women through helping them to deal with any insecurities or limiting factors that may keep them
from pressing forward in what they are called to do.
Whitley Porter is a motivational speaker and has been invited to multiple young women events
to help them with their vision boards and goal setting. Chasta Jefferson has had mentoring
groups for the last 5 years with students that focus primarily on self- esteem and helping first
generation students to gain the confidence they need to graduate from school and go into
higher education.
