MENTOR PROVIDERS
Like founding partner Teaching and Uniting Ladies to Inspire Positive Success, mentor providers are responsible for providing participating girls with the culturally-centered mentored experiences necessary for them to thrive and achieve. Due to the unique and complex needs of the girls we serve, we seek to expand our relationships with youth-serving mentorship organizations. More specifically, we seek to partner with justice-focused mentorship organizations committed to providing mentored experiences for girls and young women of color adversely impacted by housing insecurity, the conditions of poverty, sexual and other exploitation, and trauma as a result of discrimination, harassment and/or bullying due to race, ability, religion, immigration status, gender/gender identification, and sexual status.

SITE BASED PARTNERS
Each year, we seek to expand our site-based partner base to include justice-focused schools and community organizations seeking to better support and serve girls and young women of color through restorative justice practices like the Code Switch Sister Circle. We currently partner with Peterson Academic Center (CCSD Alternative School) and The Harbor. We are currently cultivating a partnership with Desert Pines High School (CCSD). Give us a call to start a Code Switch sister circle in your school.

NETWORK ADVOCATES
Our Network Advocates are practitioners, researchers, stakeholders, concerned community members, and/or individuals representing local organizations committed to taking actionable steps to address the systemic and structural inequities experienced by girls in schools and communities. Working in collaboration with Code Switch, network advocates problem-pose solutions to the equity issues Girls of Color raise. Join us as a network advocate and help make a difference in girls' lives! Start by attending our monthly network meetings held on the third Sunday of each month via zoom video conference. Head on over to our Calendar to find meeting links.
