Those are the same on the two returns, so the amendment changed something else.

  • The Community Bridges Mentoring Program connects positive female role models with diverse high school girls for an impactful mentoring experience. Our High School and Mentoring Program Manager recruits women from diverse work, economic, and educational backgrounds and individually pairs them with a high school girl from our Community Bridges Girls Program. Throughout the course of the year a mentor and mentee work together to achieve the mentees long-and short-term goals while developing a close, caring relationship based upon consistency, mutual respect and trust. Mentors and mentees engage in monthly training activities and events including youth development workshops, service opportunities, and college tours. A Mentor Discussion and Activity Guide provides topics to discuss including career prospects, mental health and body image, and self-efficacy/advocacy. These activities and discussions foster strong mentor/mentee relationships, providing girls with the network of support they need as they navigate high school and the college/career application process. In FY25 we had 27 mentoring matches with 478 hours of reported mentoring.
