Mentorship Program
The focus behind the GGAL Mentorship Program is to connect women in professional or educational settings with the participants of the GGAL program, where women share their life learning, educational, and career experiences with the girls to encourage, inspire, and empower them to achieve their educational/career goals and become productive, contributing, members of society.

Time Commitment
GGAL workshops are Saturdays 11:00 to 2:00 pm (mentors to attend 2-4 workshops a month). Mentors would meet with mentees two times a month at a time which works best for both mentor & mentee. Check out the spring 2010 workshop calender to see what a semester in the Mentor Program looks like.
