Studies and surveys have shown that children start life with similar levels of confidence and self-esteem, but as girls become pre-teens, their confidence and self-esteem decline. LaTina McGhee-Simmons, a teacher at Virginia Primrose Elementary School in Fontana, aims to change that dynamic. She facilitates a mentoring program — the 20/20 Club — for upper elementary school girls to boost their confidence and self-esteem. In this episode of SoCal Voices, LaTina and four of the club members — 4th grader Emily Zavala, and 5th graders Maya Carranza, Sophia Castellon and Monse Perez, — share how the club is boosting the girls’ sense of self-worth and value, and strengthening their belief in themselves and their abilities.
