For 25 years, the mission of the Fearless Focus Program has been constant: helping boys and girls discover the power of self-confidence, and for 26 years it has been spreading empowerment and confidence-building to children ages 5 to 18. The program is led by Program & Curriculum Director Maria Wood, founder of the Fearless Focus Program, with Maria Wood-Smith listed as a contact person. Fearless Focus is described as a unique program designed to help every child discover and embrace their full potential, with participants separated into two age groups for 9 to 10 year olds and 11 to 13 year olds. Each class offers specific activities that are described as both meaningful and fun, providing a space where children can step out of their comfort zones and embrace their full potential. The program offers beginner and advanced classes in the spring, summer, and fall, and continues to offer private lessons and Girl Scout programs. The Boston Globe has referred to it as “A Pembroke program teaching lessons that are more than skin-deep.” The Fearless Focus Program states that it strives to inspire people of all ages and genders, including children and teens of all ages, to discover the beauty, strength, and power of self-confidence, and it highlights The Beauty of Volunteering as part of its community involvement, along with a planned pivot to community centers and schools starting in spring 2026.
