Why Mentor?
Many high school girls are still discovering who they are and where they're headed. Your experience — your path, your lessons, your story — can open doors they didn't even know existed.
As a mentor with Her Honor Mentoring, you'll do more than offer career advice. You'll help a young woman build the resilience, confidence, and communication skills she needs to thrive in college and beyond. You'll show her what's possible. And chances are, she'll show you something too.
"Giving back has become a major part of my life, and Her Honor Mentoring gave me an opportunity to do so in a remarkable way.”
Doria Brown, Eventful Elegance
Who You'll Be Mentoring
Our mentees are high school seniors who are motivated to succeed and hungry for guidance. Most come from low-income households and are working to become the first in their families to navigate the path to college and career.
What they bring to the table: ambition, resilience, and a genuine eagerness to learn from someone who's been where they want to go. What they need from you is a steady commitment of time and attention.
What You'll Do
Each mentor is paired one-on-one with a high school senior for the full school year. Together, you'll meet weekly to explore topics in education, career readiness, and financial literacy. Her Honor Mentoring supplies weekly Session guides, providing structure and guidance for meetings.
The commitment:
- September – May | School year experience
- 1 hour per week | 20 meetings total
- Hybrid | Meet in person or virtually, whatever works for your schedule
- 2 Luncheons | Gather as a community in-person for our Kickoff Luncheon to start the program and our Graduation Luncheon to celebrate your Her Honor Mentoring experience
Qualities of Our Mentors
You don't have to have all the answers. You just have to care.
Our mentors are career-oriented professionals who are supportive, open-minded, and committed to building meaningful relationships. They live or work in the Westchester-Rockland-NY Metro Area. (Volunteers outside our region may be eligible to participate as part of a co-mentoring team.)
What We Provide
We set you up for success from day one:
- Curriculum on college and career readiness to guide your sessions
- Relationship support and technical assistance throughout the year
- A community of professionals who are passionate about mentorship and creating opportunity
$2,000 in HERO Grants are distributed to qualifying mentees who achieve mentoring milestones. This financial award gives mentees a real-time opportunity for important lessons in financial literacy.
Make an Impact. Build a Legacy.
Becoming a mentor isn't just an act of service — it's a partnership. The young woman you mentor will carry your guidance with her long after the school year ends. And you may find that the experience shapes you just as much as it shapes her.
"This mentorship has been an amazing experience for both of us! I am so grateful to have been part of it — and to have been as much of an inspiration to my mentee as she has been to me."
Paula Oakes, Staffmark Group
