We Mentor Girls

Research confirms that mentoring changes the trajectory of young lives and that girls with mentors are two and a half times more likely than girls without a mentor to be confident in their ability to be successful. When women mentor girls it provides a gateway to fuel their ambition and confidence. Mentors instill the notion that they can rise above their circumstances, particularly girls with limited opportunities. We help girls and young women set goals for their lives, work with them to achieve those goals, and develop leadership competencies. Some benefits of having a mentor are: ​​

• increased high school and college graduation rates.
  
•  lower high school dropout rates.
  
• less likely to initiate drug and alcohol use.
  
•  improved behavior, both at home and at school.
  
•  stronger relationships with parents, teachers and peers.
  
•  improved interpersonal skills​.

•  improved leadership and communication skills. 
  
•  healthier relationships and lifestyle choices.
  
•  better attitude about school and life.
  
•  higher college enrollment rates and higher educational aspirations.
  
•  increase in career and entrepreneurship ambitions​.
  
•  enhanced self-esteem and self-confidence.
  
• ​ increased interest in learning to set and accomplish goals.
  
•  learning critical thinking skills​.

• decrease in promiscuous behavior.

When we support the growth and empowerment of women and girls we raise the quality of life for everyone. More than ever girls need supportive role models and mentors. In our mentoring programs both parties benefit from the relationship. Mentees and mentors both are mobilized from the energies and strengths of each other.
