GIRLS Power Mentoring Program  GIRLS Power is a mentoring program for sixth and seventh grade girls at Ames Middle School and Nevada Middle School who are living out the YWCA mission of eliminating racism and empowering women. In cooperation with their ISU female student mentors, these young women plan and participate in  biweekly activities based on the five GIRLS Power focus areas:Community Service, Leadership Development, Career Exploration, Diversity and FUN!                  Mentors and mentees also interact outside the organized meetings on their own adventures such as watching movies, baking cookies, window shopping at the mall, and more! If you are interested in getting involved either as a mentee or a mentor, see below for more information. We look forward to hearing from you!
