Who We AreBody Empowerment Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization established in 2021 to help empower youth to find body acceptance and self-worth. The organization works to prevent eating disorders in adolescents, specifically in populations that lack access to treatment and preventive care. Our primary goal is to reduce healthcare disparities and promote equitable access to a novel community health intervention. The organization runs educational workshops for middle school, high school, and college students surrounding body image and self-esteem in order to decrease eating disorder risk. The organization offers two main programs: Be Body Positive Philly, which serves marginalized youth in Philadelphia public schools, and Be Body Positive Penn, which serves college students at the University of Pennsylvania. Ultimately, our mission is to decrease eating disorder risk in adolescents and equip them with the skills to live peacefully and healthfully in their bodies through meaningful, near-peer interactions.
