In today's interconnected world, the value of relationships is more important than ever. We know that girls from under-resourced communities do not have the same access to networks and relationships. One of the most powerful ways to bring this gap is through mentoring. 💡 Why Mentoring Girls’ Matters: 1. Personal Growth: Mentors provide guidance, helping mentees navigate challenges and discover their strengths.  2. Skill Development: A mentor shares their expertise, offering practical advice that can help mentees develop new skills and broaden their horizons. 3. Networking Opportunities: Mentors often open doors to new connections, expanding professional networks and creating opportunities for collaboration. 🌍 How You Can Help: Ladies of Virtue (LOVChicago) connects middle-school and high school girls with mentors to help them build relationship capital.
