Girls Mentor Girls, Inc. is a Bronx-based non-profit 501c3 organization founded by Michelle Jervis-White. Our mission is to empower female identifying BIPOC youth through peer mentoring, exercising social skills and building sisterhood with each other in a confidential, judgement-free environment. We host meetings and events, as well as offer resources to nurture and support the members of our community. In our meetings, GMG provides a safe space for young ladies to share life experiences at their own pace and exercise commitment, social skills, and self-awareness while being respectful, encouraging, and validating with one another. Events to participate in include exposure to sisterhood, healthy lifestyles, guided discussion, communal events, financial literacy, academic opportunities, and more!
