M.E.A.N. Girls Empowerment™ Teen Mentoring Program
In School / After School Programming
The Teen Mentoring Program is designed for girls ages 13 to 18, offering targeted support as they navigate the transition from adolescence to young adulthood. This program empowers young women to live healthy, balanced lives by making informed decisions, setting achievable goals, and taking actionable steps to enhance their physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Our program curriculum is aligned to the Illinois State Board of Education K-12 Social Emotional Learning Standards (ISBE Standards Based).
Key Program Features:
Promoting Self-Love and Confidence
We inspire self-acceptance, build self-esteem, and encourage mental well-being by fostering motivation, self-care practices, and emotional resilience. Participants learn to embrace their individuality and unlock their full potential.
Coping Skills for Growth
The program provides practical tools and resources to help girls manage trauma, stress, and life changes effectively, supporting their journey toward resilience and self-discovery.
Encouraging Leadership and Healthy Decisions
Participants develop skills to make positive choices that benefit themselves, their families, and their communities. We promote behavior changes that build leadership qualities and encourage proactive engagement.
Special Features:
Through our partnership with Sista Afya, participants take part in monthly peace circles and therapy sessions. These safe spaces allow girls to:
-
Find and express their voices.
-
Listen and learn interactively.
-
Engage in healing practices that support mental health.
-
Develop critical leadership, communication, and emotional resilience skills.
By combining mentorship, therapeutic support, and leadership development, the Teen Mentoring Program equips participants with the confidence, coping skills, and mental well-being strategies to make lasting, positive changes in their lives and communities.
