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 our programs serve, we seek to expand our partner base in this area. We would like to add justice-focused mentorship organizations with the capacity to support and serve girls and young women of color adversely impacted by factors related to limited financial resources, homelessness, sexual and other exploitation, family, school, & community-based emotional trauma, and discrimination, harrassment, and/or bullying due to race, ability, religion, immigration status, gender/gender identification, and sexual status.

SITE BASED PARTNERS
Our founding site-based partner is Peterson Academic Center, a Clark County School District (CCSD) alternative school for students who are expelled and/or suspended from CCSD-run traditional middle and high schools. Each year, we seek to expand our partner base to include justice-focused schools and community organizations seeking to better support and serve girls and young women of color.

NETWORK ADVOCATES
Our Network Advocates are practitioners, researchers, stakeholders, concerned community members, and/or individuals representing local organizations inspired to take actionable steps to address the systemic and structural inequities experienced by girls in schools and communities. Working as part of the "newly organized" Southern Nevada Black Girls Equity Collaborative (SNBGEC), a 2019 Code Switch initiative, network advocates meet once a month for 2 hours to problem-pose solutions to the equity issues Girls of Color raise. Join the SNBEC and help make a difference in girls' lives!
