CHANGING LIVES
Our mentees are motivated high school senior girls eager to unlock their full potential. Nominated by their high schools for participation in Her Honor, our mentees are first-generation, college-bound students from families with limited financial resources. Financial grants are awarded to mentees who achieve mentoring milestones.
Our mentors are career-driven women who volunteer their time to offer guidance and support, focusing on personalized advice for college and career readiness.
Our matching process carefully pairs interests and life experiences to cultivate a trusted, productive, and inspiring mentoring relationship.
Our program is a 9-month hybrid mentoring experience focused on college and career readiness. Throughout the academic year, each mentoring team meets weekly guided by the Her Honor curriculum at a time and place that works best for them, making our program easy to fit into a busy schedule.
Our curriculum fosters the development of essential life skills, equipping mentees for personal and professional success. Throughout the program, our mentees enhance communication and problem-solving skills, while also gaining valuable insights into time management and accountability.
Her Honor Mentoring combines the power of youth and the wisdom of experience to inspire both our mentees and mentors to dream big and achieve BIGGER!
