Mentoring future generations is one of the most powerful ways to create a lasting positive change in society. When we invest time, energy, and resources in mentoring the youth, we enrich their lives and ensure their future is brighter and more prepared to tackle the world’s evolving challenges. That is why Girls in Lead (GIL) aim to provide young girls and women with a platform of guidance, resources, networking opportunities, and inclusive support to develop leadership skills, decision-making, and confidence to build a strong pipeline for future generations working closely with successful female mentors who can demonstrate that leadership is attainable, even in challenging or traditional environments.
89% of those who have been mentored say they will go on to mentor others paying it forward for others alike to learn and grow.
In 2022, there were 2.1 million status high school dropouts between the ages of 16 and 24. Among those statistics, females were rated 4.3%.
More than 1 in 3 (35%) young adults say they will grow up without any support from a mentor to help them navigate challenges.
According to Mentorloop, 76% of people think mentors are important, but only 37% have one and 97% with mentors find value in one.
Mentoring can help provide possible solutions as mentees go through challenging life experiences, including dealing with stressful changes at home, work, school, or transitioning into adulthood.
The mentor-mentee relationship itself is a form of networking, which provides guidance and shared experiences that can help to shape professional development and personal growth opportunities.
Mentoring plays a big role in preparing students for college life and help them build resilience as they learn how to handle setbacks, manage time, and persevere through academic challenges.
Mentoring enhances leadership skills, provides fresh perspectives, and has been linked to increase self-esteem, confidence, communication, and cultivating strong and meaning connections.
Volunteering as a mentor is an incredibly rewarding experience as your time and expertise will have an immediate, lasting impact on the lives of the mentees. You can help us to empower the next generation of female leaders.
