Girlie Girls Mentoring Program, Inc.s primary services involve helping young girls in our community set attainable goals and receive the proper guidance needed to achieve them.In 2022, we enrolled 30 members ranging from ages 8 through 18. Members met monthly twice per week. The target was to mentor 30 female youths each month, bringing social awareness to them to make good choices and wise decisions along with setting attainable goals. From January through December, 86% of our members achieved the outcome. During this growth process, the members realized that some goals were harder or took longer to obtain than others.

Programs like Microsoft Office Suite are provided for our high school members for Career Readiness. Members have access to free computers and printers at the Girls Rock facility.
