Volunteer Youth Mentor for Space of Her Own

Save to Favorites

Recruiting Organization: Space of Her Own, Inc.

Alexandria's award-winning Space of Her Own (SOHO) program is recruiting a creative, culturally diverse, caring team of women to volunteer as mentors for the 2024-2025 school year. We hope you'll join us for an information session to learn more about how our program is structured, what our expectations are for mentors, the girls we serve, and how you can apply to become a SOHO mentor.

Transforming spaces and transforming lives, SOHO empowers remarkable, deserving preteen girls to express themselves, communicate openly, make positive decisions, progress academically, and give back to others. By pairing mentors one-to-one with 5th grade girls, we aim to create a foundation for a long-lasting bond and mentoring relationship. Mentors and mentees work together weekly on an array of projects designed to empower girls to value their creativity using unique professionally-led arts and STEM instruction. At the end of the year, mentors work with their mentee and their mentee's family to use the projects that they've created together to transform their mentee’s sleeping space and give each SOHO girl a true space of her own.

SOHO mentors attend weekly sessions one night per week from September to early June from 5:30 - 8 p.m. on Tuesdays or Wednesdays (program night is determined during the application process).
