Become a Mentor
Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings young people together with caring individuals who offer guidance, support, and encouragement aimed at developing the competence and character of the mentee.
The Just Us Girls Mentoring Program helps to empower youth in our community to make positive life choices that enable them to maximize their potential. The mentoring program uses adult volunteers to commit to supporting, guiding, and being a friend to a young person for a period of at least one year. By becoming part of the social network of adults and community members who care about the youth, the mentor can help youth develop and reach positive academic, career, and personal goals.
Just Us Girls is in need of passionate and committed mentors and volunteers to help achieve our goals. If you or someone you know is interested in becoming a volunteer, click on the link below.
“Volunteering with Just Us Girls has been an amazing opportunity for me in regards to giving me a voice and chance to make a difference in the lives of youth. The sisterhood has allowed me to also grow and look at my own life, to look for ways to improve myself, my confidence, and my character. I have loved the space and safety amongst the group as we’ve dove into topics, and conversations I’ve never openly discussed. I am grateful to have met the young ladies I’ve met and I am even more excited to see the program continue to grow”
