Her Story Mentorship offers purposeful programming via an after school program led by Her Story Mentors where girls will:

Learn from women entrepreneurs.

At the beginning of our program, girls are invited to attend our virtual speaker series where women entrepreneurs share stories about their pursuit of purpose.

Identify their strengths, values and passions.

Girls will be guided through a series of sessions where they’ll discover their purpose and craft a personal mission statement.

Develop a purpose-driven digital life.

Girls will inventory their relationship with screens and social media, identify healthy digital habits and learn how to engage with meaningful content aligned with their personal mission statement.

Experience entrepreneurship.

Girls will develop their personal mission into a tangible idea, build out their vision through the framework of a business plan and pitch their idea in front of an audience as part of our completion ceremony.
