Empower the Girls: Turning Confidence into a Lifesaving Skill
Imagine navigating life with the confidence that you’re prepared for anything. At Empower the Girls, we provide young women with the essential tools to take control of their personal safety – empowering them to feel secure, aware, and confident in any situation.
We know personal safety can’t be guaranteed, and it’s easy to think “it won’t happen to me.” But the truth is, we are all “someone else” to others. That’s why our mission is simple: equip young women with practical safety strategies, so they can move through life with confidence, quick instincts, and the power to act.
Why Empower the Girls?
Our approach is like wearing a seatbelt – it dramatically reduces risk and could save lives. Through interactive, engaging, and easy to follow sessions, young women of all ages and abilities learn how to trust their instincts, build confidence, and act decisively when need.
Whether in the classroom or on campus, our fun, dynamic programs combine personal defense skills and mindset training, so participants leave empowered and ready to thrive.
Join Us Today!
Take the first step toward empowering the young women in your life. Book a session for your group or organization, or invite Ellen Claire van Olden for a powerful keynote. Let’s turn fear into confidence and prepare for a safer, more empowered future.
“I learned self-defense isn’t only about physical protection but it’s about the mental change through to thought process, confidence and believing in yourself – knowing what to do before it happens.”
“Very influential course. I learned so many life lessons.”
“I feel more confident and ready for anything.”
“I feel more confident that I can get out of a tough situation.”
“I liked the reality and truth of the course.”
“Every human should take this course – very empowering!”
“This is an essential program for any woman/teen who ever asks herself “what would I do if…? I feel empowered to survive what I thought would be in survivable acts of violence.”
“Thank you so much for this class. I was so impressed and it is probably the most important class the girls will ever take. We all learned so much and I just can’t thank you enough. I will definitely be spreading the word.”
“Very important information. Should be required in all schools!”
“Essential information, potentially lifesaving! Everyone should have these skills, they are empowering.”
“I had so much fun and learned things I probably wouldn’t have thought twice about.”
“Definitely very important for all girls to take.”
“Ellen van Olden is my new hero! Empower the Girls should be at the top of every high school parent’s list if they have a daughter. From the first moment I had the privilege of speaking with Ellen, I was impressed with her passion and dedication to her mission for empowering young women. I felt fortunate she made time to speak at our conference and share her story and program with our attendees. Her presentation was incredibly powerful and all of our attendees were blown away by her demonstration. Ellen is an inspiration to a whole new generation. I can’t sing her praises enough!”
