MENTORING PROGRAM

Harriett’s Daughters’ mentoring program supports adolescent and teenage girls who have lost their mothers to cancer or are navigating an end-stage cancer diagnosis. Through consistent, caring relationships, girls are supported as they process grief, build confidence, and move forward during a time of profound change. Mentoring at Harriett’s Daughters is designed to meet girls where they are and grow with them over time.

Mentorship: the Heart of What We Do

Mentorship is the cornerstone of Harriett’s Daughters. Through individual and group mentoring relationships, we provide consistent, caring support for girls navigating grief, uncertainty, and major life transitions after maternal cancer loss.

Our approach recognizes that grief is not linear. Support evolves over time, and mentoring offers a steady presence as girls grow and their needs change.

How Mentoring Works

Girls are thoughtfully matched with trained mentors who serve as trusted adults alongside families and caregivers. Mentoring may take place through:

• One-to-one mentoring

• Group mentoring experiences

• Distance mentoring, when needed

Mentors help girls build confidence, expand their perspectives, and recognize their strengths as they navigate life after loss.

Enrichment Through Mentoring

Mentoring includes enrichment experiences such as workshops, group activities, and shared learning opportunities that support emotional, social, and academic development. These experiences foster connection, self-expression, and growth alongside mentoring relationships.

There is power in shared experiences.

Are you a woman 25 years or older, who lost your mother or a mother-figure to cancer? Or, do you have a passion for working with girls who have experienced this kind of loss?

Do you live in the Greater Atlanta area?

Are you looking for an opportunity to accomplish great things in your community by making a difference in a girl's life?

Do you want to be a catalyst for change by sharing your skills and knowledge?

Are you able to commit to a minimum of 4 hours a month for one year?
