Mentoring Programs

Step Up’s programs create safe, brave spaces for girls to connect, grow, and learn from each other – and from a community of supportive mentors.

We provide the structure and support for girls to pursue their dreams of success.

Ages 14-29? Sign Up Here!

What To Expect

Step Up is here to support every girl no matter where they are on their journey. All girls can find a place at Step Up, whether they're looking to Start Exploring, Build Skills, Take Action, or Cultivate Community.

Our programs are available in-person, virtually, and on-demand. We offer a mix of 1-on-1 mentorship, group mentorship, and mentorship for all through community events.

Discover Mentoring Opportunities

Start Exploring

  • Explore Pathways

    This series helps high school teens and young adults explore different companies and workplaces and to learn about the paths of the mentors who work there. Available both virtually and in-person.

  • Explore Step Up on Campus

    Step Up on Campus is a national evidence-based supplemental school program that offers high school girls (and those who identify with girlhood) ages 14-18 support as they transition into young adulthood. Facilitated by an on-campus educator, teens have the chance to explore careers, strengthen their social-emotional skills, and connect to mentorship opportunities and developmental experiences in their communities.

  • Explore Step Up Saturdays

    Step Up Saturdays offer Step Up teens from partner high schools the opportunity to receive mentorship focused on social capital skill-building in a fun, supportive environment off campus.
