Where Teen Girls Build Bright Futures

The teenage years lay the foundation for what’s to come.

That’s why we equip teen girls with essential skills often missing from traditional education — emotional intelligence, self-confidence, and purposeful goal-setting. Led by industry experts and trained practitioners, our programs empower girls to step into their potential during every season of life.

Shine Bright & Spread Light

We equip teen girls in Middle School and High School to live intentional and impactful lives — to shine bright and spread light. Here’s what that means:

  • Shine Bright: What’s on the inside naturally flows out. We deliver programs focused on all aspects of well-being: mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual. 
  • Spread Light: Light is meant to spread! We encourage kindness, hospitality, purpose-driven initiatives, and community service.

Our programs are delivered in warm and supportive settings, where girls connect authentically, inspire each other — and create a positive ripple effect within the spaces they navigate.

Where Growth Happens

Give your teen access to transformative workshops and events led by subject matter experts, all within supportive, supervised environments.

Join us for a Shine Faith event designed to help teen girls grow in their relationship with God and discover how faith provides a firm foundation through the twists and turns of the teen years and beyond. This event is rooted in a Christian perspective and is appropriate for all girls in Middle School & High School who are interested in exploring and deepening their faith. Girls will learn about prayer, hear a powerful testimony of faith and hope, and create a personal prayer board focused on praying for themselves and others. This event offers encouragement, connection, and a reminder that light shines in the darkness… (John 1:5).

Turning Passion into Purpose

Meet Ms. Jules

Hi, I’m Jules, MSW, CPC, ELI-MP. The credentials next to my name reflect what’s in my heart: a desire to equip, empower, and encourage others to live fulfilled, purpose-driven lives.

As a Certified Professional Coach, I work with high-achieving professionals to elevate their energy and unlock untapped potential. I noticed a theme: From the outside, clients reached external measures of success and were thriving. On the inside, they were battling insecurities rooted in their teenage years — which were holding them back from life and career satisfaction.

This sparked a powerful realization: What if personal development skills were taught before limiting beliefs took root? This is why Shine Teens exists—so teens can learn life-changing tools and cast a brighter future, to shine from the inside out as they grow.

I live in Charlotte, NC with my husband and our children—a future Shine Teen and a son who dreams of a similar program for teen boys one day!

I love what you’re doing for these young ladies and have seen first-hand how impactful it is! My daughter, who was initially nervous, excitedly looks forward to each event. She’s so much more confident and strong because of your team and the Shine Community.
