  What is SHE CARES?

  September - May 2022-23

  SHE CARES provides one-on-one mentoring with mentors where girls and young women can speak freely and express her feelings.

  Mentors provide insight and knowledge not found in books; they have often walked the same path as their mentees. Most importantly, mentors open up doors and facilitate new ways of tackling topics, which leads to more opportunities for growth that would not be available without their influence.

  All of our SHE CARES mentors are thoroughly vetted and trained. Our mentors have varying expertise ranging from wellness to career readiness. However, our mentors will refer other mental health resources, as necessary.

  Topics can include:

• Social/Emotional Guidance

  • Feelings about the pandemic

  • Self-Esteem

  • Friendship stress

  • School pressure
