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.
