Summer Beauty

opportunity designed for individuals ages 14-24 who are passionate about the beauty industry. This
special program welcomes past alumni of the Summer Beauty Camp, inviting them to return as mentors
and contribute their experience and enthusiasm. Alumni can work during the camp sessions, gain
valuable hands-on experience, and receive compensation for their contributions. Beyond practical skills,
the program emphasizes leadership development, professional growth, and the chance to inspire a new
generation of beauty enthusiasts—all while being part of a supportive and creative community.

Educational Beauty
Experience
Immersive Exploration of the Beauty Industry for Girls Ages 8-17
The Educational Beauty Experience, presented by the Alexis Baxter Foundation, is a dynamic opportunity
carefully crafted for girls ages 8 to 17 to discover the boundless possibilities of the beauty industry. This
unique program goes far beyond the classroom, immersing participants in authentic, real-life
environments where beauty comes alive. Through thoughtfully organized trips and voyages to hair
stores, professional hair shows, beauty schools, and even beauty factories, girls witness firsthand the
creativity, innovation, and diversity of career paths available in the field.
Each excursion is designed to deepen understanding, ignite curiosity, and provide a broader perspective
on what the world of beauty truly offers. Participants gain direct exposure to industry professionals,
witness live demonstrations, and see the artistry of beauty in action. Whether exploring the latest
trends or learning about the science behind products, every experience encourages girls to expand their
horizons and envision themselves thriving within the industry.
With a focus on inspiration and empowerment, the Educational Beauty Experience offers more than just
a glimpse—it opens doors to new interests, skills, and dreams, while fostering a community of young
beauty enthusiasts eager to make their mark.

Beauty In Workshops
Beauty In Workshops, hosted by the Alexis Baxter Foundation, are engaging, free one-day experiences
designed for girls ages 8 to 17. Each workshop is taught by licensed professionals in the relevant field,
ensuring participants receive expert guidance and up-to-date information. These sessions uniquely
blend the worlds of beauty and everyday life, showing that true beauty goes far beyond surface
glamour. Each experience empowers participants to see beauty as a holistic concept, with a focus on
life-sustaining essentials such as health and hygiene, financial literacy, self-care, and goal setting.
Through interactive lessons, hands-on activities, and collaborative discussions, girls learn how beauty is
connected to their overall well-being and personal growth. The workshops highlight that self-expression
is not only about appearance, but also about making healthy choices, managing resources, caring for
oneself, and setting meaningful goals. By fostering a supportive and creative atmosphere, the Beauty In
Workshops equip girls to carry these valuable lessons into every aspect of their lives, inspiring
confidence and a deeper sense of self-worth.


Brains & Beauty Events
Empowering Youth Through Service, Education, and Community Givebacks.
The Brains & Beauty initiative is a vibrant initiative dedicated to merging community service with the
pursuit of education, inspiring participants to develop both their intellect and sense of social
responsibility. At its core, the initiative emphasizes the importance of giving back, fostering a spirit of
generosity and civic engagement among young people.
A central highlight of the Brains & Beauty Events is the highly anticipated Back to School Drive. This
major annual event brings together community members, volunteers, and youth for a meaningful day of
service with tangible impact. During the drive, bookbags and essential beauty supplies are distributed to
students, ensuring that they are not only prepared academically but also supported in their confidence
and self-care as they embark on a new school year.
The Back to School Drive reflects the initiative’s commitment to supporting education and encouraging
schooling for all. By providing students with the tools they need—both for learning and for personal
care—the Brains & Beauty initiative breaks down barriers, reinforces the value of education, and helps
youth feel empowered to succeed in and out of the classroom.
Throughout the year, additional Brains & Beauty events and activities further this mission, offering
opportunities for service, leadership, and personal growth. Each gathering is designed to remind
participants that beauty and intelligence go hand in hand, and that true impact is made not only through
individual achievement, but through acts of kindness and community support.
In summary, the Brains & Beauty Events are more than just initiatives—they are a celebration of
education, empowerment, and the power of giving back.
