JOIN OUR MENTORSHIP PROGRAM!
The Girl Up Houston Campfire Mentorship Program allows for underclassmen and middle schooler mentees to be paired with an upperclassmen mentor to give them academic and personal advice. Throughout the year, you will bond with your mentor/mentee and grow as an advocate, leader, and student.
Our Mentorship Program will have the theme of Campfire, focused on building family, love, and warmth within the Girl Up Houston Community. As a s'more (an upperclassman mentor), you will support your marshmallow throughout the year. As a marshmallow (a underclassman mentee), you will gain invaluable resources from your s'more!
