Mentor

Ready to build up the next generation? Come alongside the 1,000+ volunteer Mentors and leave a lasting impact on girls in your community.

What is a Mentor?

Each BIO Girls program requires several volunteer Mentors to serve alongside the program’s Site Director. Sites also have Jr Mentors, those who have completed 6th grade, and are looking to step into a volunteer role.

As a Mentor, you get the opportunity to work directly with a small group of participants each week throughout the season. This positive mentorship is a key element of the BIO Girls program. Not to mention, participants often choose “relationship with mentor” as one of their favorite things about BIO Girls!

Mentors attend all 12 sessions, lead small group discussions, and participate in the physical activity each session. Jr Mentors assist with the program, serve as role models, and participate in the activity.

Mentoring 101!

What do Mentors say?

  • "BIO Girls has taught not only me, but the rest of these young minds what true beauty means, how to cope and deal with feelings of anxiousness, build friendships, and most importantly how to believe in ourselves. "

  • "I have never volunteered for a 12 week program and been sad that it was over."

  • "What a blessing! I looked forward to Mondays to uplift and be uplifted by this wonderful group of girls and other women."

  • "BIO Girls has been such an impactful and insightful experience for me as a mentor. I enjoyed the content, team work and relevant sessions that we taught each other. Looking forward to next year!"

Junior Mentor

Each BIO Girls program requires volunteer mentors, and has the opportunity to welcome Junior Mentors!

As a Junior Mentor, you’ll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact while growing your own leadership skills. Junior Mentors joyfully attend at least 10 of the 12 BIO Girls sessions, demonstrating a positive learning and growth mindset throughout the season. You’ll encourage and uplift participants, participate in the site’s physical activities, and model the values of confidence, respect, and kindness. Junior Mentors act as trusted role models, commit to respecting participant confidentiality, and work closely with the Site Director through clear and timely communication.

If you’ve completed 6th grade, are ready to lead by example, and have a heart for empowering others, this role is the perfect place to shine!
