Girls with Goals Alliance 10-Year Celebration in March was honored to have as the guest speaker Dr. Narketta Sparkman-Key, HS-BCP., an award-winning international speaker, an expert in self-esteem development, adolescent suicide and vulnerable populations. As a published researcher, professor and scholar she has served as a subject matter expert delivering electrifying speeches at conferences, workshops and panel discussions.

WHY MENTORING?

Spending one hour each week – whether it’s helping with homework, playing games or just hanging out – means a young person has someone to turn to in moments big and small.
The report found that young people who were at risk for not completing high school but who had a mentor reported higher educational aspirations and matriculation into post-secondary education, as well as greater engagement in positive activities.

Why? Because Mentoring Works!!!
