We also require at least 20 hours of community service hours per session and the completion of one civic engagement activity per semester.
What are some of the discussion topics?
Our mentoring program discussion topics include financial literacy, independent living, public speaking, job readiness, leadership building, conflict resolution, personal safety, goal setting, dealing with bullies, and self-esteem building.
Through workshops, open forums, projects, and community service activities, we empower teenage girls to build self-esteem and develop their strengths and leadership abilities. We encourage them to live up to their highest potential and motivate each other to become more influential voices in their community.
