A mentoring program for 7th- to 12th-grade girls in the Rochester City School District providing guidance, mentoring, and broadening experiences. Girls are matched one-to-one with women in the Rochester community. Mentees are encouraged to develop life skills, become astute decision-makers, set goals, and complete their education. Our goal is to make a difference one girl at a time.
