BE ME Kids
A FUN & EMPOWERING PROGRAM FOR AGES 5-10
BE ME Kids was created in 2016 by our Founder’s granddaughter, Skylar Rose, at just 9 years old. This program helps youth build self-confidence, develop self-acceptance, manage stress, stand up to peer pressure and bullying, and practice kindness toward themselves and others.
How "BE ME Kids" Began
At the young age of 9, Skylar noticed that some children around her at school seemed to be pretending to be someone they were not in order to fit in. She named the group BE ME Kids because she wanted to let kids know they should just be themselves.
She asked her grandmother, our Founder, Kathy Opperman to create t-shirts with a logo, and then they came up with the idea to offer the BE ME Kids program to the community at Pillars of Light and Love headquarters in Trappe.
skylar's vision continues
Now a young adult, Skylar continues to support BE ME Kids and its mission of helping children build confidence and practice kindness. Inspired by Skylar’s original vision, our goal is to empower youth to express their feelings and individual personalities while developing the confidence and skills to navigate bullying, peer pressure, and overcome feelings of exclusion.
