Step Up is proud to partner with Crystal Light

together we provide teen girls with teen health and well-being programs

The Crystal Light and Step Up programs help young girls from underserved communities overcome their socio-economic barriers by increasing their physical and mental well-being. This program is on-going and has allowed Step Up for the first time to run the same program for girls nationally.

Crystal Light also is the proud sponsor of "I Dream to Be," an after school photojournalism program that teaches young girls basic photography skills and encourages them to express their ideas, ambitions and opinions through their art.

A Goddess Day for girls will be held with the support of Crystal Light in each Los Angeles, Chicago and New York as well.

Net proceeds from several Crystal Light products benefit Step Up

Step Up is proud to partner with Dove

together we help women free themselves from today's beauty stereotypes

Only 2% of women around the world describe themselves as beautiful and 81% of us in the United States strongly agree that "the media and advertising set an unrealistic standard of beauty that most women can't ever achieve."

Step Up firmly believes that it's time to free ourselves and the next generation from today's beauty stereotypes.

Together Step Up and Dove are partnering to develop joint self-esteem programs that inspire girls to believe in themselves.
