Fall Programming

The BeaYOUtiful Foundation offers a FREE workshop for girls (and those who identify as non-binary) aged 9 – 13 years.

On October 18, 2025, Inspired by HER features interactive workshops to build greater self-esteem, embrace mindfulness, and develop leadership skills. Each attendee is paired with a female mentor for the day to connect with, while building new friendships.

The event is free, and lunch and snacks will be provided.

That 2013 pilot program grew into the BeaYOUtiful Foundation. In 2018, it became a B.C. society, and in 2019 a registered charity. Mentorship is the backbone of Bea­YOUtiful—the roster of volunteer mentors is diverse, from university students, teachers and counsellors to lawyers, firefighters and professional athletes. “My rule is that anybody can be a mentor as long as you show up with kindness and a willingness to learn,” says Hui.

What sets BeaYOUtiful apart is its integration of group classes with local one-on-one mentorship sessions. Mentors, also known as soul sisters, aged 18 to 40, bridge the age gap, creating a sisterhood bond that lasts for years. Volunteer mentor and soul sister Ashley Meagher shares insights on the foundation. Shedding light on her perspectives on how BeaYOUtiful has influenced her life and how she contributes to the foundation’s mission.

In her final year of high school, Hui and another friend created a program where teen mentors work with younger girls to boost their confidence and help them develop a strong sense of self.

That turned into The BeaYOUtiful Foundation, an organization dedicated to advancing health and youth education through self-esteem and confidence-building classes run by mentors who are close in age to the participants.

A four-week confidence program is underway in Calgary, and enrolment is open for four pop-up workshops taking place on Aug. 25, 26, and 27.

Hui says they decided to bring the BeaYOUtiful Foundation to Calgary after hearing from women who wanted to volunteer as mentors, as well as from parents who heard about the programming and expressed interest.

BeaYOUtiful Foundation is bringing its Inspired By HER Conference to Toronto for the first time on Saturday, May 28. The large-scale event for girls ages 9 to 12 consists of three workshops focused on building confidence through movement, conversation and mentorship.

Through the TELUS Friendly Future Foundation partnership, BeaYOUtiful’s participant Noa was featured in The Globe and Mail and National Post, highlighting the BeaYOUtiful x TELUS Friendly Future Foundation Video.

Empowering young girls with confidence, TELUS Friendly Future Foundation funds youth charities like BeaYOUtiful Foundation, a grassroots organization that supports young girls with free workshops aimed at promoting positive body image, greater self-esteem and building leadership skills.

Taylor Hui, creator of The BeaYOUtiful Foundation, has been nominated for the Young Woman of Distinction Award 2020 by YWCA Metro Vancouver for encouraging self-esteem, self-love and empowerment.

A mentor can change the way you see yourself, and the world. When Taylor Hui was in Grade 8, she says, she experienced cyber bullying in the form of cruel text messages.

A city-wide conference is coming to Vancouver this January and they’re looking to make a wide-scale impact on the next generation of young women.

The perspective of beauty and social media’s influence on our youth needs to change, and the BeaYOUtiful Organization is set out to do just that.

Altering the school system to include more beneficial life related skills is something I have always wondered about.

Taylor Hui, model and founder of the not-for-profit BeaYOUtiful, launched The Roster brand on the weekend in honour of International Women’s Day.

Building confidence, living a balanced lifestyle and appreciating yourself and others around you is the message one young Surrey woman is hoping to spread throughout schools in the Lower Mainland.

In a society where the media dictates beauty standards, oftentimes a mirror can be a girl’s worst enemy. SFU student Taylor Hui has set out to change that mentality with her not- for-profit organization BeaYOUtiful.

BeaYOUtiful, which has been running in Surrey schools for three years, is about creating healthy lifestyles and relationships, said founder Taylor Hui, 20, a professional model and communications student at Simon Fraser University.
