Mission Statement
Girls Rise Up believes the presence of an adult woman who is available to listen and support is a critical connection for a girl who has experienced the loss of her mother. In partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities, we offer a mentor program that pairs adult motherless daughters with motherless girls. The goals of our mentor program are:
-To create connection between youth motherless daughters and adult women who are willing and able to provide mother-like care and guidance that is essential for developing girls.
-To support relationships between mentors and mentees that inspires girls to grow and maintain their self-confidence and self-worth.
Through our partnership with BBBS, we are able to support girls and mentors who speak languages other than English. If you are a girl or woman who speaks Hmong, Spanish, Somali, or ASL, please let us know and we will work to match you accordingly.
Description
