At Dove, we believe no young person should be held back from reaching their full potential. However, low body confidence and anxieties over appearance stop young people from being their best selves, affecting their health, friendships, and even performance at school. Join Dove in helping build self-esteem through our self-esteem project.
For more than 10 years, we’ve been helping parents, mentors, teachers and youth leaders deliver self-esteem education that's reached more than 20 million young people so far. Join us to help reach even more.
