SHE-CAN MENTORING PROGRAM
MENTORING AT A GLANCE
WHY MENTORS ARE IMPORTANT TO SHE-CAN
The true value of the mentee-mentor relationship lies in our scholars' untapped potential. Through their mentor relationships they learn to break the cycle of suppression and patriarchy in their countries and become powerful women who navigate life as equals. Most importantly, they learn the value of pulling up other women. SHE-CAN pulls together teams of 5-6 mentors and matches each with high potential, low-income young women from Cambodia, Liberia and Rwanda to help them win a U.S. college scholarship, succeed on campus, and launch a leadership career.
"Mentoring Patricie & Vuochnear and having them in my life has allowed me to be a part of our world in a unique and very meaningful way." - Kristin Nicholson |
