Programs

WYSE is a year long curriculum-based mentorship program that partners college women with middle school girls. Each mentor is paired with one middle school mentee for the entire academic year. Weekly sessions are held after school at the middle school. WYSE mentors use an innovative curriculum and engage their mentees in decision-making games, in-depth discussions and community action projects. In addition to the weekly sessions, the WYSE program promotes mentee learning outside the classroom through quarterly field trips and one-on-one mentor/mentee outings. These extra activities are important to building trust between each mentor and mentee relationship.
