Our Mission.

The Confidence Compass is a leadership workshop series that helps elementary and middle school students, especially girls, develop confidence and life skills that are not offered in a typical school curriculum. We strive to make our sessions similar to situations that may occur in real life, so that students can realize where to apply the skills they learn.

Through participating in our sessions, students learn not how to add or to analyze poems, but how to lead with confidence. Skills that schools don’t teach can be the most important ones. That is why Confidence Compass was founded. We want to teach students real-life skills in a fun and memorable way.

Why Are Confidence Compass Skills Important?

in today’s world, young people are presented with leadership opportunities, speeches, debates, and so much more every day. But not all students know how to handle such situations. This is where The Confidence Compass steps in. Through research, trials, and practice, students begin to get comfortable using skills essential for their young adult lives.

Some skills that our sessions develop are:

  • “Introducing yourself without shrinking”

  • “Asking for help clearly”

About Everleigh

Hi! I am Everleigh, the founder of The Confidence Compass. I am a high school junior, passionate about empowerment for young girls, leadership, and helping those around me.

I was inspired to start The Confidence Compass when I realized that skills such as speaking without fear, introducing yourself without shrinking, and much more are useful in a person’s everyday life, but are not taught in an everyday math class.

I learned just how important leadership skills are from running my own entrepreneurship club and being a leader in different forms, outside and inside of school. I feel these skills are especially important for women and girls, when still only 9% of Fortune 500 companies have female CEOs.
