Who We Serve
Our mentoring program support girls 9 to 21 years of age, when they are at the most pivotal time of their lives. Adolescent is a period of transition from childhood to womanhood. During adolescence, the body and the brain undergo many changes. These changes can be rapid and often take place at different rates. As such, this is an exciting yet challenging time in a young woman’s life.
Who Am I ?
This question may be difficult for girls and young women who have a low sense of self to answer. Low self-esteem can affect women’s thoughts, emotions, patterns of behavior, feelings of belonging and sense of identity.

Six Problems Teenage Girls Commonly Face
Menstruation
Young women’s first periods can be a very emotionally taxing ordeal as a result of irritability, and sadness to mood swings. During this time, young women become more sensitive to the world around them, feel self-conscious, and become more aware of peer pressure. Additionally, they begin to explore their identities. Young women who are not appropriately informed may develop a lot of misconceptions about her menstruation cycle, and they may also have a lot of questions.
Social media
Social media has been proposed to play an important role in the presence of body image issues among young women. Young women are increasingly comparing themselves to unrealistic images, with many comparing themselves to unrealistic beauty standards perpetuated online. Research has shown how various aspects of social media platforms affects young women’s body image and self-esteem.
Appearance
Appearance is featured as the number one problem on every teenage girl’s list. 30.4% of all teenagers are believed to have body image issues. Adolescence is the time when a young woman’s body is constantly changing, and she must learn to cope with it. Furthermore, young women are increasingly being inundated with images of “perfect” bodies. Media and peer pressure also wreak havoc on their self-esteem. Family environment, ability, disability, peers’ attitudes, and cultural background are some factors that influence young woman’s body image.
Friendship
Being a teenager makes relationships seem complex. Even the beautiful bond of friendship often become shaky. This is because as teenagers, young women are developing social skills. A young woman might love her best friend one moment and might pick a fight the next. This may result in aggression and mood swings.
Bullying
Bullying is a issue that is highly prevalent today. About 55% of all teens say that bullying is a major problem among their peers. About 16% of school students in the US reported cyberbullying. This can impact young women’s developing personality and behavior and may even result in self-harm. Young women who do have adequate support may also feel depressed and react strangely as a result of keeping their feelings to themselves.
Self Esteem
Teenage girls have a habit of comparing themselves to others; their body, and their appearance they are fixated on their bodies and appearance, constantly comparing themselves to other girls of their age. This unconsciously creates a pressure on them. The changes in a teenage girl’s body might make her doubt herself. She might become extremely conscious about everything she does, wears, or even talks about.
Why Us
It’s our obligation to mentor and support girls and young women in the world to aid in their personal development, help build their confidence, and guide them through challenging times as they advance in their lives. We believe mentorship is a top priority in helping girls and young women succeed.
We focus on finding the right match.
The driving force of any successful mentorship is the quality of the relationship between the mentor and mentee. Just like in any other type of relationship, compatibility is key to success. We make expectations clear.
After connecting potentially suitable matches, each mentor and mentee are prompted to define their expected outcome from the start. We understand that mentorship is a two-way relationship, so it’s important that both mentor and mentee provide input and think carefully about what their expectation are.
It is in this phrase that we outline the type and frequency of interactions preferred.
We offer sufficient training and support. We understand that without adequate resources and support, we could not be as successful as our track record has proven us to be. That is why our program provides mentors and mentees with training and guidance before they first interact.
We are specific.
“”Empowering mentorship is not just about guiding, but about forging meaningful connections that inspire growth, confidence, and success in every young woman’s journey towards greatness.””
