How Do We Help?
Maximize Potential
We want girls to feel limitless. That’s why we expose girls to a breadth of subjects and activities, that encourage them to learn new skills and remain intellectually curious.
A Community of Support
When girls come to the Jean Augustine Centre, they can count on being a surrounded by a supportive community of peers, and mentors who believe in them and their potential to do amazing things!
Nurture Confidence
In adolescence, girls' confidence decreases dramatically. That's we work to combat the ‘confidence gap’ through programs that help girls feel capable and empowered.

What parents have to say about the Jean Augustine Centre!
"An exceptionally well-put-together community program to help mentor your daughters, giving them a clear path through leadership and entrepreneurship. My daughter loves it here. They offer so many programs for girls.
​
When you live in a city with high rent and high cost of living, I am so great to complete for Jean Augustine Centre as an after-school program for my 12-year-old daughter."
