“The Sophia Project has a commitment to the St. Louis Region to provide resources and programs that support and promote mental well-being, self-care, and self-esteem among adolescent young women. Our new initiative Sophia Project Connects is community programming. You don’t have to formally enroll in our programs to be empowered”

INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE GIRL 2026

Explore character, self-development, and culture — discover who you are, strengthen your confidence, and become the very best version of yourself!

The Sophia Project’s International Day of the Girl is a one-day conference designed to inspire and empower young women in grades 6–12 to become women of character and vision.

This year's theme, She's A Perfect 10, explores character, self-development, and culture — creating an intentional opportunity for every young woman to discover who she is, strengthen her confidence, and continue becoming the very best version of herself.

What the day includes: Participants will hear from a guest speaker, vibe to our famous battle of DJs, and share their thoughts at our Girl Town Hall.

Can you guess who will be joining us for #TSPIDG2026?

40 girls and 40 women who show up for them. One Saturday at the Bayer YMCA that was equal parts sweat, laughter, and heart-to-hearts. Self-Care Saturday proved you don't need a spa day to feel poured into — just the right people in the room.
