​Thank you for your interest in the M.E.A.N. Girls Empowerment Saturday Mentoring Program. We are now accepting applications for both new and returning participants beginning July 1, 2025. This cohort will run from September 2025 through May 2026.

Please note that completing the interest form is the first step in the application process and does not guarantee acceptance into the program. After submitting the interest form, applicants will be required to complete the full application and pay the applicable non-refundable application fee in order to be considered.

Selected applicants will be invited to participate in an interview with the MGE team. All applicants must attend a mandatory mentee orientation, which will take place in late August. Final decisions will be communicated by September 15, 2025.

The application fee is as follows:

• New applicants: $110 (one-time, non-refundable)

• Returning participants: $75 (one-time, non-refundable)

At M.E.A.N. Girls Empowerment, we believe every girl who can benefit from our program should have the opportunity to participate. For this reason, we offer a fee waiver program for families experiencing financial hardship. Reduced application fees are available for those who qualify. Supporting documentation will be required to determine eligibility.
