NEXT GENERATION FASHION & arts COUNCIL
NGFAC
NGFAC (Next Generation Fashion & Arts Council) is a selective youth leadership initiative within Building A Better You designed to cultivate confidence, leadership, and identity in teen girls through intentional self-expression.
NGFAC is not about fashion trends. It is about preparation—helping girls learn how to show up with confidence in different spaces, make thoughtful choices, and lead with presence. Through guided experiences, mentorship, and real-world exposure, participants develop the skills and self-awareness needed to navigate school, community, and future opportunities with clarity and purpose.
