"Girlvolution" Mentorship Program

We are looking for successful, enthusiastic women in our community to join us in a Girlvolution. We are partnering with Pace Center for Girls in St. Lucie County to provide a mentorship program for teen girls ages 13-18. As a mentor, you will partner with a student to work on a 12-week social justice project focusing on challenges and opportunities for girls and women in our society. Examples of topics the girls are interested in include:

  • Women in Leadership
  • Advocating for Marginalized Populations
  • Understanding the Criminal Justice System
  • Career Development and Research
  • Peer pressure
  • Black Lives Matter
The mentorship will culminate in a one-day Workshop where each girl will give a presentation on her topic. The weekly sessions will be 75 minutes long and held with your mentee on Tuesdays from 11:00 am-12:15 pm). For more information about this exciting project please email Alicia Rolle at arolle1@irsc.edu or call 772-462-7026.
