"The Registrar at National Day Calendar proclaimed National Youth Confidence Day to be observed annually on October 20. Tiffany R. Lewis, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Confident Girl Mentoring Program, Inc. (CGMP) founded National Youth Confidence Day to encourage a strong foundation of positive relationships to mentor today’s youth. Building a framework of positive role models is vital to developing responsible, confident young adults. National Youth Confidence Day
encourages us to “Connect and Inspire Today’s Youth for Tomorrow’s Success”.
CGMP is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that utilizes evidence-based interventions to empower and build confidence in girls ages 7-19 in New York State.

Tiffany Lewis stated- “As a youth advocate and leader, mentoring programs give us each a chance to contribute to the youth in our communities by providing guidance, friendship and life experience of a mentor. This day is more than just a national day. The day is an acknowledgment of all they will accomplish. Guidance, leadership and mentors will help light the path, and today’s youth will navigate the
obstacles that will inevitably lay before them. It’s a Celebration of Confidence”!
