Our mentoring programs help members grow stronger in the life goals as they seek to give back to underserved communities. Girls from the united states and United Kingdom are paired with a mentor who is a professional woman and a role model. All girls (in every country) are paired with a peculiar sister (so that they can share their wisdom).
Currently, mentoring is done virtually/online/ webinars due to the fact that most of our girls are based overseas ( Liberia and Nigeria). However, there are in persons mentoring taking place in some cases.
” We find that a mentor who respects and values the opinion of her mentee, is able to make a greater impact. Great mentors offer a listening ear without judgement, constructive challenge without making the mentee feel small, and values ongoing learning between the two of them. Both mentors and mentees feel rewarded in their mentoring relationship. It’s a win-win situation. We are looking for mentors who have a positive attitude who can act as a positive role model”.
