The preteen and teen years can be a tremendous challenge for girls. But they can also be a time for incredible growth, learning, and empowerment. The difference-maker for young girls is often having a mentor to teach and guide them. Jill Petersen and Mary Frances, founders of Girls Mentorship, are two very powerful difference makers. Their workshops and programs have made a tremendously positive impact on attendees, including many who choose to come back year after year.

This conversation is ideal for parents and grandparents of preteen and teen girls, educators, mentors, and coaches.
