The vision for L.E.A.G.U.E. Mentoring Program is to provide a global network of professional women to impact adolescent girls by exposing them to professional and social experiences.
Research suggest that gender-based extra-curricular programming is more effective when there are a range of options made available for girls ages 11-17 (Girl Scout Research Institute, 2002). Using the Girls Scout Research Institute’s model for identifying adolescents by age, 3D Girls, Inc.’s mentoring program appeals to our girls on three distinct levels: Little League (ages 12 and under), Minor League (13-15) and Major League (16 and older). In an effort to recognize the developmental needs of each age group the following are incorporated in our age-appropriate curriculum and/or activities:
Little League – (5th grade girls; ages 12 and under)
Weekly meeting topics includes, but are not limited to:
- What is leadership?
- Organizational Skills
- Study Skills
- Self-Esteem
Minor League – (6th – 8th grade girls; ages 13 -15)
Weekly meeting topics includes, but are not limited to:
- Communication Etiquette
- Conflict Resolution
- Anger Management
- Time Management
Major League – (9th – 12th grade girls; ages 16 and up)
Scholars meet twice per week after-school; meeting topics includes, but are not limited to:
– Volunteering & Community Service: What’s the difference?
A course that explains the difference between volunteering and engaging in a service-leaning project. A service learning component where students leave the school’s campus to engage in meaningful experiences within their communities.
Community Service Learning
In addition to serving, learn how to develop their own service projects and measure its effectiveness through their own evaluations.
