What is the ‘You Are Project?’
We are determined to present empowering video messages for young women so that they could be reminded of their worth. Given that young people live an ‘online’ life, You Are has worked hard to have a strong presence on media platforms to ensure we have a life-giving voice. Here are just a few of the many projects we have worked on.

You Are Project
You Are Project, this was the first video created in our series 10 years ago & remains one of our most powerful. It took a lot of courage for many of these girls to take part in this video to take ownership of their words. We want to encourage young women to celebrate all of themselves and what they have to offer this world. Thank you to the courageous young women who helped us to create this message.
Stand Up On The Inside
The 26 young women who participated in this video made themselves vulnerable so that we could communicate this message to viewers who desperately need to know that they are not alone. The insecurities you hear were recorded when 125 girls were interviewed, they are real.
Let Her Go - From a Father to his Daughter
Dads often aren’t aware of the internal struggle going on in their teenage daughters so it’s important that they remember to remind them of their worth. We want to make special mention of Laura and her dad, Martin who joined us for this filming. Laura is a beautiful 16 year old who couldn’t write an insecurity for herself nor has the capacity to express them but we wanted to have her as part of this video to honour the girls out there who can’t speak for themselves (for many reasons) and how that makes it even more important for us to love them and tell them that we love them.
