Be a Mentor
In developing the leadership skills of young women
today, one of the most critical factors is the influence of other
people, especially role models. In today’s media saturated
environment, the influences on young women are innumerable and
often contradictory. Now, more then ever, girls need images of
strong successful women in order for them to construct positive
female identities. As part of the Girls Incorporated mission to
inspire all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, we have instituted
a mentoring program in concert with our Leadership
Council program.
Requirement: Any woman professional
or entrepreneur who feels she has the time, insight and the desire
to give career guidance to a teenage girl, inspiring her to reach
her full potential.
Commitment: Minimum of one hour per month plus a 2 hour
orientation.
