Why Schools Need Girls Empowerment Coaches & How You Can Help

Schools do an incredible job of teaching math, science, history, and literature, but what about confidence, leadership, and self-worth?

Teen girls today are facing more pressure than ever—from social media comparison to academic stress, friendship challenges, and self-doubt. Many schools recognize this but don’t have the resources, staff, or specialized training to offer the empowerment programs girls desperately need.

That’s where Girls Empowerment Coaches come in.

If you’ve ever wanted to make a real difference in schools, this guide will walk you through:

• Why schools need empowerment programs for girls
• How a Girls Empowerment Coach fills this gap
• How to position yourself as the perfect solution and start booking workshops in schools

Key Takeaways

• Schools know girls need help with confidence, leadership, and self-esteem—but most don’t have the time or training to provide these programs themselves.
• Many schools hire outside experts (like empowerment coaches) to lead workshops on personal development, social-emotional learning (SEL), and leadership.
• You don’t need to be a teacher to work in schools—you just need the right training, curriculum, and confidence to lead impactful programs.
• Schools have funding available for outside programs—you just need to know how to position your offer.
• Getting certified as a Girls Empowerment Coach makes it easier to get booked and respected by schools.

Why Schools Struggle to Offer Girls Empowerment Programs

Most educators and school counselors know that girls need support in building confidence, managing stress, and developing leadership skills. But here’s the challenge:

1. Schools Are Overwhelmed with Academic Pressures

• Teachers are focused on curriculum requirements and standardized testing, leaving little time for personal development programs.
• Many educators want to help but don’t have the time or specialized training to run confidence-building workshops.

2. School Counselors Are Overbooked

• Many schools have only one counselor serving hundreds (or thousands) of students.
• Counselors are often focused on crisis management (bullying, anxiety, academic struggles) rather than personal development.

3. There’s No Standard Curriculum for Confidence & Leadership

• While schools teach life skills, few offer structured programs on self-esteem, goal setting, or emotional intelligence.
• Many school leaders are actively looking for outside programs to bring in experts to help.

This is why schools need Girls Empowerment Coaches—and why you could be the person to fill this gap.

How Girls Empowerment Coaches Help Schools

A Girls Empowerment Coach provides schools with something they want but don’t have the time or expertise to create—an engaging, structured program that helps girls:

✔ Build confidence and self-esteem
✔ Develop leadership and communication skills
✔ Set and achieve personal and academic goals
✔ Navigate social pressures and friendships
✔ Manage stress and anxiety in healthy ways

When you position yourself as the solution to these challenges, schools will be eager to work with you.

How to Get Schools Interested in Your Girls Empowerment Workshops

1. Offer a Workshop That Solves a Problem

Schools are more likely to book you if your workshop directly addresses a challenge they already recognize.

Some of the most in-demand girls empowerment workshop topics include:

• Confidence & Self-Esteem – Helping girls believe in themselves and their abilities.
• Leadership & Goal Setting – Encouraging girls to take initiative and pursue their dreams.
• Social Media & Self-Worth – Teaching healthy social media habits and reducing comparison stress.
• Friendships & Communication Skills – Helping girls navigate social pressures in a positive way.
• Handling Stress & Anxiety – Equipping girls with tools for self-care and emotional resilience.

The more specific and relevant your workshop is, the easier it is for schools to say yes.

2. Contact the Right People

The key to booking school workshops is reaching out to the decision-makers—the people who handle student programs and speaker bookings.

Best People to Contact in Schools:

✔ School Counselors – They often organize mental health, confidence, and leadership programs.
✔ Principals & Assistant Principals – They approve new programs and outside speakers.
✔ Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) Coordinators – If the school has an SEL department, they will be your best contact.
✔ Teachers (Especially Leadership & Life Skills Teachers) – Many teachers love bringing in guest speakers for their classes.
✔ After-School Program Directors – If you want to run programs outside of school hours, they are the ones to talk to.

3. Send a Strong Pitch (Email Template)

Once you identify the right person, reach out with a clear, professional, and compelling pitch.

Email Template for Schools:

Subject: Confidence-Building Workshop for [School Name] Girls

Hi [Name],

My name is [Your Name], and I’m a Certified Girls Empowerment Coach. I specialize in helping girls build confidence, leadership skills, and self-worth through engaging, interactive workshops.

I’d love to bring my [Workshop Name] to [School Name]. This workshop helps girls [key benefits—ex: develop confidence, set goals, overcome self-doubt], and it aligns with [mention school priorities like SEL, leadership programs, or mental health initiatives].

Here’s what’s included:

• A 60-90 minute interactive session with confidence-building activities and discussions
• Practical tools for girls to apply in their daily lives
• A flexible format (one-time workshop or multi-week series)

I’d love to chat about how this could be a great fit for your students. Do you have 15 minutes this week for a quick call?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Website or Contact Info]

4. Follow Up & Be Persistent

Most schools won’t respond to the first email. That’s why following up is key.

✔ Follow up after 5-7 days with a polite check-in.
✔ If no response, call the school office and ask if they received your email.
✔ If you get a “no,” ask if they know of another contact or department that might be interested.

Many coaches get booked simply because they followed up when others didn’t.

How Much Do Schools Pay for Girls Empowerment Programs?
