We thank you for your gifts of TIME, TALENTS, or TREASURES to mentor our youth, the impact will be great! Please donate to the 'Mentoring Effect' that is evident in the girls that are being mentored by a caring adult mentor. Help us continue the impact of empowering, and encouraging them to make the right choices about academics, behavior, and their lives after high school. Your donation of $25 will help with S.T.E.A.M. workshops, $50 will pay for field trips and cultural events and $100 will provide training and recruitment of new volunteers.

Endless Gratitude,

Delores Perry, Executive Director/Program Coordinator

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.
