Mentorship Program
At Girls Rising, our mentorship program thrives on the power of example and community. We are dedicated to supporting girls aged 8-17 from historically underserved communities by providing positive role models and unwavering support.
We pair each Mentee with a Mentor who offers guidance, encouragement, and opportunities to help overcome social and economic challenges and achieve their goals. Through a consistent one-on-one relationship, our Mentors inspire their Mentees by modeling positive behaviors and providing continuous support.
By learning from a positive female role model, our Mentees gain the confidence to face challenges head-on and envision a future full of limitless possibilities!

Mentor Outings
1-1 outings are based on mentor and mentee interests! Outings are coordinated by the Mentor and Mentee and are typically held on weekends.
Many matches enjoy going to the beach, seeing a movie, reading books, baking, going to lunch, hanging out at the park, and visiting museums!
