She doesn’t need advice.
She needs someone who stays.
GGU Mentoring pairs girls K–12 with trained, background-checked mentors who show up week after week — at school, at home, in the community, or in a group.

“Mentoring isn’t a program she attends. It’s a person she trusts.”
What mentoring actually is
A GGU mentor isn’t a tutor or a therapist. She’s a steady, trained adult who listens, encourages, and walks with a girl through real life while guiding her through our five-pillar framework.
Mentoring stands on its own as one of GGU’s three core programs, alongside the Leadership Academy and our online Curriculum.
- Girls K–12, matched by age and need
- Families who want a consistent, caring adult in her corner
- Schools and organizations serving girls
- Girls navigating transition, confidence, or motivation challenges
