Mentoring

Through our mentoring and enrichment workshops, we seek to enrich and transform the lives of youth and young adult girls who may be dealing with negative or stressful home environments, lack of emotional & educational support, negative peer pressure or transient living conditions, and/or homelessness. Girls who experience these conditions are often times at risk for educational setbacks, teen pregnancy, drug/alcohol abuse, and trouble with the law.
