Girls For A Change empowers young urban women to create change in their neighborhoods and form authentic relationships with professional women. Women volunteers, called coaches, work with girls in small teams of 10 girls from March through November to guide them through the process of identifying a community issue, developing a project that addresses that issue and then implementing the project. We are looking for women to join us as we have 1,200 young women ready to be leaders and we need professional women to support them starting in January and February. Teams meet twice a month and we are looking for coaches in Santa Clara County, East Palo Alto and Oakland.
Girls For A Change offers training and support for all women volunteers. This is a chance for women to make a difference in the lives of urban girls, learn transferable job skills and network with other women in the Bay Area. We are currently in need of coaches and have other more flexible positions available as well. Girls For A Change is working to change the world by putting girls at the global leadership table. Contact us today to make your contribution to this change.

Since 1995, over 340,000 mentee matches have provided support to California's youth through mentor programs. Yet tens of thousands of young people are still waiting for a mentor. Therefore, Governor Schwarzenegger has a goal for the Governor's Mentoring Partnership (GMP) of recruiting, training and matching quality mentors to reach one million young people by 2005. This goal is being achieved by working with quality programs who emphasize both the safety and development of mentees.
