The feature below is brought to you by Fertile Ground Mentoring, an organization that has been awarded a See Beautiful Grant. For more information about our giving initiatives, please click here. To learn more about the featured organization, please visit their website here. Fertile Ground's mission is to deliver a high-quality mentoring program that supports young women in developing positive self-images and inspires them to be extraordinary individuals. Our mentorship program was specifically designed to empower young girls from traditionally marginalized communities by exposing them to new possibilities for their lives through innovative educational workshops, authentic cultural arts activities, college tours and more. Most importantly, we strive to develop in them a spirit of giving back through vital community service projects. Fertile Ground serves as a safe space for our culturally, linguistically, and socio-economically diverse members to belong, be heard, and be MORE! In addition to our engaging in our monthly activities, members are matched with a trained mentor who is committed to being a stable, trustworthy, and positive role model in their lives. The mentor-mentee relationship is cultivated through interactions during our meetings and a minimum of one additional connection in-between our monthly events. Submitted by: Dr. Cassandra Matthews
