WE'RE SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE
One of the best and most fulfilling parts of this work is seeing the transformative impactĀ that mentorship has on girls ā getting to watch them grow in confidence, develop their skills, and realize their full potential. Let's share a little bit more about how we got here...
We became the mentors weĀ neverĀ had...
Back in August 2020, we had a moment of reflection: what would our younger selves have achieved if they had the personal growth tools we have now? Everywhere we looked, we saw young girls grappling with confidence issues, battling negative self-talk, wrestling with poor self-image, and navigating the tricky waters of anxiety and depression. It struck a chord. Weren't we in those same shoes just 20 years ago? It was a realization that even with the passage of time, many things remained unchanged. Girls were still missing the vital skills to rise above these challenges.
That pivotal moment led to a decision: we wanted to be the beacon of change. We envisioned extending a helping hand to the young girls who mirrored our past selves. Our mission? To enrich their social-emotional learning skills, guiding them towards realizing the brightest, most confident versions of themselves. And what an incredible journey it's been, and continues to be!
