CM Mentoring Program is designed to help girls build their level of confidence by introducing new things through team-building activities, having empowering conversations, and sharing positive values.
Life Skills and Team Building activities are the two main ingredients to promote success in our girls. While having fun, the girls will learn concepts like goal creation, problem-solving techniques and the importance of effective communication.

"What it means to me to have a Growth Mindset from the things I have learned is taking things that have happened in your life and using them to get better! I embraced the challenges of being a quiet kid and used it to my advantage."
Each student received an award box with a journal, motivational book, Crayola crayons, ink pen, lollipop, and a $50 visa gift card.
"A good leader is someone who has compassion, shows respect and love for others. A good leader also motivates others to do their best. I hope to be a good leader."
"A good leader is one that is responsible, respectful, kind, and humble! A good leader has to be a good follower. You cannot allow your leadership to make you feel greater than others. Being a leader requires a lot of great responsibility."
