Mentors will learn about the importance of ethics and safety in mentorship, key factors in mentees' development, and points to keep in mind as they engage with mentees. Mentors will also learn the importance of ethnocultural empathy and cultural sensitivity when connecting with mentees, never showing up as an all-knowing authority figure and always showing up authentically and ready to learn.
Success looks different for everyone. No one destination fits all, so why would one path fit all? At Step Up, we help girls achieve their unique visions of success. We create safe, brave spaces for girls to connect, learn, and grow alongside supportive mentors (and each other).
Step Up provides free mentorship programs in person, online, and on demand that concentrate on supporting each teen along their journey.
With structured programs, focused support, and inspiring connections, we’ve established a multi-generational community that shares the resources and relationships needed for individual and collective success.
Through Step Up, girls experience more than just mentorship. They'll find community, feel empowered to expand their horizons, and develop the skills they need to navigate life’s path with confidence.
After participating in Step Up:

of participants say they're more CONNECTED
My mentors did not have a career path set when they were in high school or in college. Their career paths were unexpected and that gives me hope that I will figure out my career path, too.
— Rana Saleh, Step Up teen
