Mentoring
The No Girl Left Behind Mentor Program connects girls and women with accomplished leaders from a wide range of industries, including business, healthcare, education, wellness, and the arts. Our mentors share their knowledge, experience, and personal journeys to help participants build confidence, leadership skills, and a clear vision for their future. During NGLB events, mentors work directly with attendees through workshops, panels, and small group discussions, offering guidance, encouragement, and real-world insight. Programming is designed for girls starting at age nine through adulthood, ensuring each age group receives meaningful and relevant mentorship. At its core, the NGLB Mentor Program is about creating connection, support, and a powerful community of women who lift one another up—because when women lead together, the impact lasts far beyond a single event.
