EmpowerHER Mentoring
The DICA EmpowerHer Mentorship & STEAM program, in collaboration with community partners, aims to support girls and help them become the best versions of themselves through group and individual sessions, college prep support, and more. Students get together once or twice a month to take part in fun experiences, organize charitable activities, and enjoy workshops, retreats, and field trips to local museums and businesses. At the end of the year, mentorship students and their mother figures join in a special crowning ceremony. It's all about learning and growing together!
