Emily Seraphine bronstein
Emily, 17, moved from Atlanta, Georgia to Park City, Utah three years ago. She is a current senior at Park City High School. Emily started The Seraphine Project in January 2017 as one aspect of preparing for Bat Mitzvah (a rite of passage to adulthood in the Jewish faith). Emily long knew she had a heart for others and wanted to do something focused on "girls helping girls." In lieu of presents or a party, Emily asked friends and family to instead support The Seraphine Project. And now the Project continues to evolve and expand thanks to many others who share her passion helping at-risk girls. Emily also works as a hostess and food runner and loves play tennis and ski. Emily's parents, Katie and Greg, and brother, Miles, are also passionate supporters and strong advocates of The Seraphine Project.
YAGA (Young and Gifted Africans)
Prince Dube, known by everyone as Smokey was born in Victoria Falls and had a challenging upbringing. After giving birth to him, his mother had to return to school so he was partly raised by his grandmother and other family members. Since childhood, Smokey has been passionate about the creative arts and participated in school clubs that had anything to do with the arts. His dream was and still is to become a media guru. However due to his socio-economic situation, he was unable to pursue further education in the arts sector, so, again he found a way and taught himself everything he knows today. Smokey has found that self-expression through the arts has been a big emotional and psychological crutch and so would like to share this with other young girls and boys.
Smokey's ultimate goal is to break the cycle of economic despair, by harnessing the power of the arts to help young girls discover their talents and provide them with the necessary resources to nurture their gifts and talents so they can be better citizens and genuine social change-makers of tomorrow.

Global sojourns giving circle
Global Sojourns Giving Circle (GSGC) creates safe spaces in Southern African countries to empower and educate girls and strengthen their communities. GSGC helps to create a “ripple effect”, causing girls to be empowered, nurtured and educated. By doing so, they are able to open up to new ideas, new ways of doing things and new opportunities. When a girl finds a new path—one that isn’t defined by abuse, poverty or any number of pitfalls—she’s more likely to create a better future for herself, her family and her community. The impact is far‑reaching, and thats what GSGC is all about! The Seraphine Project works to support and run individual initiatives that fully support the powerful work done by Giving Circle.
