​

Atlanta GLOW mentors serve as positive role models who provide both inspiration and instruction. Through our six-month mentoring program, Atlanta GLOW engages youth and young adults in an individualized and community-based process that facilitates growth towards greater self-sufficiency and successful goal achievement through a guided series of exploration, life skills training, mentoring and futures planning.

Program Dates

This is a 6-month one-to-one mentorship program. The next cohort will be hosted July 1 – December 31. Monthly mentoring sessions are scheduled individually by each mentoring pair.

​

Program Location

We offer a hybrid mentoring format (virtual, phone, and/or in-person) based on the comfort level of each individual mentoring pair. The locations of individual mentoring sessions are predominantly community-based, also depending on the preferences of each mentoring pair.

​

Mentoring pairs may also choose to meet out of our new Mentoring Café, a designated lounge and shared workspace where our mentoring pairs and/or youth/young women in the community may come to complete their mentoring sessions, access a small library of college and career resources, and use computer stations to complete schoolwork and/or college/job applications. 

​

If meeting in-person at any time, both mentors and mentees must complete our COVID-19 Health Check the DAY OF their meeting. Further, Atlanta GLOW must first verify the license and insurance information of the driver BEFORE the scheduled session is to occur if planning to travel together in the same vehicle.

​

Program Format

• 6 One-to-One Mentoring Sessions (1/Month)

• Each Session Lasts 1 Hour

• Sessions Held Monthly for 6 Months

• Sessions Scheduled Individually 

​

Participants who successfully complete the 6-month program will have the opportunity to earn up to $300 in Earn and Learn program incentives upon program graduation.

Onboarding Process

Upon receipt of a program application, we require applicants to attend a virtual orientation and complete a 30-minute life skills assessment. Both steps are required in order to be admitted to the program.
