Mentors Matter
The Mentors Matter program was developed in an effort to strengthen and increase the pipeline of Black women in leadership roles as faculty members, student affairs administrators, lawyers and medical care providers. The program fosters meaningful mentor relationships, building trust and acceptance between Black women at various career and academic stages with Black high school girls. The primary objective of Mentors Matter is to identify Black high school girls in the Salt Lake City school district, to disperse college preparation and self-esteem literature, and to strategic intervention by way of academic and social support for participants. www.mentorsdomatter.org
