Mentor Model is an international mentoring program for teenage girls that promotes female empowerment, community, and guidance. We strive to create a safe environment for our girls to grow in their identities while guiding them in their professional development.
Thanks to society, when we think about role models our minds automatically jump to someone famous, someone we barely know, or this idea of a "perfect" person that we cannot relate to.
At Mentor Model, our mentors are our role models. We believe that a Mentor Model is an imperfect person that has allowed resilience and passion to lead their lives in an inspiring way. Mentor Model is the new reformed role model that every teenage girl should have access to.
Our mission is to make mentorship easy and accessible for teenage girls globally. Our goal is to provide a safe space for candid discussions, personal growth, and professional guidance while they embrace their unique and authentic selves with trusted and relatable mentors from diverse backgrounds.
