Mentorship that builds sisterhood
Girls Mentor Girls creates opportunities for female-identifying BIPOC youth to embark on a journey of self-discovery and self-determination through mentorship and community.
Who we are
A mentoring family built on self-discovery and sisterhood.
Girls Mentor Girls, Inc. is a Bronx-based nonprofit founded by Michelle Jervis-White to empower female-identifying BIPOC youth through peer mentorship, community, and meaningful relationships.
We create nurturing spaces where young women of color cultivate meaningful relationships and bridge the gap between loneliness and connection — confidential, judgment-free spaces where girls can share their experiences at their own pace.

One-on-one and peer mentoring relationships built on trust, honesty, and shared experience.

Scholarly Opportunities
Academic support and access to scholarships like the Denise McLaughlin Ladybug Scholarship.
Safer Spaces
