    Program Description and Who We’re Seeking:

    Our Malaika Mentor Program is uniquely curated for youth identifying as Black girls, and we are seeking Black and other Women of Color to serve as mentors, fostering individual relationships, implementing creative programming initiatives, and nurturing community bonds. Currently, we are recruiting, training, and supporting volunteers to serve as mentors for six months as part of our inaugural mentor Cohort, "60 for Six."

    Why Volunteer With Us?

    Your involvement directly addresses the urgent need for mentorship. Currently, there are over 60 youth eagerly awaiting mentors, and with your assistance, we could expand our services to reach many more.

    How It Works:

    Volunteers will receive mentor training and support before being matched and engaging with their mentee in meaningful cultural, educational, and social activities, facilitating personal and professional growth for the youth involved - all at no cost to the Volunteer.
