GIRLS NEED ADULT MENTORS WHO:

• Understand and are committed to the communities in which girls live.
• Assist girls in recognizing and confronting the impacts of harmful attitudes and behaviors.
• Address and challenge problematic images of girls and women in the media and school curricula.
• Serve as positive role models-women who are strong, competent, and actively involved in social issues, and men who are supportive and respectful of women and girls.
• Help girls to explore their strengths, develop their skills, achieve in school, and envision a wide range of options for healthy and productive futures.
• Provide a safe context for girls to raise questions, grapple with confusion, voice their concerns, and develop strategies to deal with their concerns.
