Our Story
Founded in 2015, P.E.A.R.L.S. Mentoring for Girls, Inc. was created to empower young girls by providing mentorship, leadership training, and essential resources to help them break barriers and achieve success. Recognizing the disparities faced by girls in underserved communities, we are dedicated to offering guidance, support, and opportunities that shape confident, ambitious, and successful young women.
Our Mission
Our mission is to provide tailored mentoring support to girls aged 10-18 in underserved regions across the United States. By addressing challenges in education, leadership, training, and healthcare, we equip our mentees with the tools they need to reach their full potential and create a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
Our Vision
We envision a world where every girl, regardless of her background, has the opportunity to thrive and succeed. Through structured mentorship, educational support, and community engagement, P.E.A.R.L.S. is committed to fostering the next generation of leaders, advocates, and change-makers.
"Every girl, no matter her zip code, deserves to fulfill her utmost potential."
