Teen Workshops

At Horace Empowerment, our Teen Workshops go beyond beauty to address crucial aspects of adolescent well-being. We are dedicated to fostering awareness and education among young individuals through engaging sessions on Teen Pregnancy Awareness and Prevention, STD and STI Awareness and Prevention, as well as Drug Abuse Awareness. Through these workshops, we provide a safe and open platform for teens to learn about these pressing issues, empowering them with knowledge to make informed decisions for their physical and emotional health. Our goal is to equip the youth with the tools they need to navigate these challenges, ensuring they have the information and support necessary for a healthier and brighter future.

College Readiness Workshops…

Our College Readiness Workshop, Beyond The Diploma, serves as a vital support group for students entering the college journey. We understand the excitement and challenges that come with leaving home for the first time, which is why we've established a platform where experienced college students offer invaluable insights to incoming freshmen. Through candid discussions, our older college students share what to expect during this transition, helping newcomers adapt more smoothly to campus life. Moreover, we focus on nurturing effective study habits that contribute to academic success. Beyond academics, safety is a priority, and we equip students with essential tips on how to navigate social situations, particularly when it comes to party safety. By providing comprehensive guidance, we aim to empower every college student with the knowledge and confidence they need to thrive in their new environment.

The Beauty Honors…

Horace Empowerment Inc. is proud to present the 10th Anniversary of The Beauty Honors Awards Show, an occasion designed to honor and celebrate our local beauty professionals. Think of it as the Oscars of Beauty! This prestigious program recognizes accomplished stylists, barbers, makeup artists, and other beauty technicians. In addition, we will pay tribute to our 'Lifetime Achievement Stylists,' acknowledging those who have dedicated over 30 years to the beauty industry. The event will feature great food, fun, and entertainment, all in the name of scholarships.

As Horace Empowerment's hallmark fundraising program, The Beauty Honors serves a dual purpose: Celebrating excellence in the beauty industry while also raising crucial funds to support scholarships and youth-focused initiatives.

Join us for The Track and Field Honors Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, April 30th at 11:00 am. We’ll gather to celebrate the outstanding achievements of MCSD's top Track and Field student athletes. These exceptional individuals have not only excelled on the track but also in the classroom.

This event highlights the positive impact of sports in shaping young lives, emphasizing skills like teamwork and time management. During the luncheon, we’ll award the Richard Lane Campbell Track Scholarship to a deserving student aiming to pursue higher education and participate in Track and Field at the collegiate level.

Mark your calendars and prepare to be inspired by the energy and applause as we honor these remarkable athletes!
