Body Empowerment Project at Penn is a student group focused on addressing eating disorder risk among Penn students through an original curriculum led by trained Penn volunteers. The program helps participants develop a more balanced and accepting relationship with their bodies through a weight-neutral and health-centered approach. Participants acquire tools and strategies to live intuitively, develop self-love, expand their definition of beauty, and build a strong community of support.
Our group holds 3 events per month: a "pop-up" workshop with another student organization, a fun, self-empowering event including but not limited to pumpkin painting and puppy dog yoga, and a consistent GBM centered around small group discussion and peer-to-peer education. Our goal is to establish a cohort of facilitators to run a 10-week education program.
BEP is a safe space for to feel supported and loved as they are. We would love for you to join our community!
