Our aim is to inoculate young women against potentially harmful messages that can damage their self-esteem and body image. And we've been leading workshops since 1998! Workshops are available for young women ages 13 through 30 in classrooms, at conferences, and for nonprofit and community groups. We can tailor a workshop to last between 50 minutes and two hours. About-Face workshops are: Guided, not lecturing: We don't tell kids and adults what to think, but instead let them develop their own thoughts. Interactive: We provide discussion time and opportunities to process what each person is experiencing. Appealing to young audiences: We center workshops on dynamic media, such as TV and movie clips, web sites, and images from magazines. Action-oriented and positive: We leave participants inspired to make change, not feeling hopeless. Sassy and edgy: We use humor, making the workshops feel like fun, not like a boring class. If you are interested in bringing an About-Face workshop outside the San Francisco Bay Area, please contact us to discuss travel arrangements and funding. How to Request an About-Face Workshop To start the process, please fill out our short presentation request form. After we receive your request, an About-Face staff member will contact you within two business days. Any questions? Just ask! The presentation request form is still the best place to start for a speedy response.
