LaToya Jackson. Hi LaToya — if I were you, I would probably start by checking at the library to see if they allow you to host mentoring groups there or if they can connect you with someone that can help.
Also, try a local church or community group to see if they would be interested in partnering with you. If you have a local Girl Scout troop, they might also make a good partner for different activities. Hello my name is Cassandra and I have a passion to start a girl mentoring program I want girls of all ethnic groups to know that they are beautiful Beauty is something that comes from the inside out what they see on Instagram, Facebook and magazine people are inhandce and air brush I want girls to uplift one another and not hate on each other but build each other up I no you said to start small will you give me suggestions on how to get started on teaching girls on healthy relationship, friends hygiene and etc.

My audience will be ages I wanted to do boys considering I have three but I think girls are more approachable and I figured hey if it turns out successful it could grow to the boys and maybe my husband will want in on the project.
I want to start off small. Maybe once a week for the summer. Maybe you could point me in the direction that no need to go to. And I looked at my 9 year old daughter yesterday and thought to myself.
My goodness I have to do something to make a change. Any advice you can give me to point me in the right direction will definitely do me some good. Thanks in advance. Usually, those organizations provide training and materials so you can have structure and a solid foundation to start on. Also, the name recognition of those programs would establish trust and help you grow your group more quickly.
Thank you for wanting to provide good role models in your community! Hello My name is Desiree. I have been working with youth and teenage at- risk youth for as long as I can remember. I want to start my own community based impact mentoring group with girls and boys.
I want to focus on middle school age kids. I have been doing some research and still have a lot of unanswered questions. Where is a good starting point to get this passion from my heart to reality? I love your point about starting off small and working my way up. I just need a play by play handbook on how to start. Any information would be amazing to have.
Hi Desiree — what programs have you been involved with so far? Do any of them interest you enough to start your own chapter? That might be a good jumping off point and help you build up some skills and ideas for leading your own group. Hi, my name is Nacie. Do I need to fill out any legal documents just for a mentoring group? Do I need to file the name? I have the same question.
My 19 year old daughter and my 11 year old daughter are in on this with me. Hello my name is Cre Smith, Me and my best friend have recently sparked up a conversation of what we could do to help young women in the area we grew up in…We are trying to start a mentoring program small group initially for young women to find their purpose.
We want to connect with them on levels such as confidence, religion, sports, education, employment etc. We are looking to start something like this in Fort Wayne, IN. I was wondering where to even begin as this was just a thought, but now something we want to genuinely do and put into action for our community.
Hi Cre! This is something like what I want to do. Finding their God-giving purpose in this world. Teaching them to be confident, while also helping other, educated, life-skills such as credit and paying bills. Most importantly, teaching them to put God first and the importance of prayer!
Did you start your group yet? Any tips? Hi Ladies, my name is Brandi marsh and I live in the Los Angeles area, starting non profit young girls called ebony and pink pearls, mission empower young women to konw thier purpose in God, honor purity and seek GOd in prayer daily. Lets definitely stay connected. B this programme it is not for Christians only, but every young lady who we will be able to reach us. Churches tend to want to do things internally and usually have their own groups so they may see you as competition.
Look for community groups… check and see what groups meet at your local library or community center and try connecting with those. Start with what is in your hand and do it so well that other will be attracted. We started a bible study group for teens some years back in a high school. But it was that key first 3 that made the difference.

My focus is datherless girls. I have so many questions but first how can I get funding i. Any information is greatly appreciated. I notice a lot of women who have grown up without a father figure in their life tends to go searching for that security into our relationships, which most of the time may not be a good thing. So I wanted to come to some point in my life where I can share my experience and help other girls and women that is currently seeking instructions on how to manage with out their father in their life.
Can you guide me on where to begin? Happy New Year! I am interested in starting group mentoring girls. Typically when starting a non profit, it has to be established for a certain period of time prior to qualifying for federal grants. Do you know what the time-frame is? My name is Henrietta Ajusah, as I child I grew up without the love of a mother,especially what it takes to feel motherly love. I have to love my children so dearly that I now know that a lot of children out there especially the girl child needed to be loved and cared for.
Most of the time, the emotional struggles they face at that age prevent them from treating the adults in their life as resources. If you asked teens what they would like to change in their life, they would probably tell you about many things they want to change, but they do not know how to do this. After not knowing how to change for a while, they become frustrated and feel helpless.
This is when the adults in their life have a responsibility to help them make that change. For people to change, they need to find their strengths and use them to overcome challenges. Many times, it is the perception of the resources they have around them that will determine their strength in meeting these challenges.
When teens feel they have many resources they can call upon when they need help to change, they become more confident. However, if they feel unresourceful, they tend to do many silly things.
Teens are not born with the understanding that they have the power to change their life. Even if their parents plant this power in their mind at a young age, when they are hit by hormonal changes, pimples and other physical transformations, they feel as if they have lost control. Feeling like they have less control over these things, teenagers begin to feel they cannot change anything anymore, no matter how much they want to.
In many senses, teens are like the little elephant. One day, a boy went to the circus with his father and saw a huge elephant tied to a tiny stake with a rope.
He tried and tried for months, until he finally gave up, believing that it is impossible to break free. We are the same, my son. Many things happen to us at childhood, which we try to change, but then stop trying. During adolescence, things get so hard that many teens give up. They have many internal and external resources, but they do not know how to use them.
Their world quickly becomes a place of great confusion and stress. They face conflicting demands between their parents, teachers and friends. The messages they get through the media and from other sources, like internet forums and social sites, only confuse them more. If you ask teens, though they dedicate every bit of their energy to discovering their identity, they are not sure who they are.
Teens, just like grownups, put enormous effort into changing their unhappy circumstances with the skills they have, but this leads them nowhere, because those skills or the skills they are lacking have brought them to this point in the first place. Sadly, continuous failure to change their life causes teens to give up on success, having good relationships and taking responsibility for their health. Like the little elephant, they start to compromise and give in to the circumstances that take away their happiness.
They just give up and live an unhappy and unfulfilled life, believing this is their destiny. Living with an angry, unhappy, frustrated, rebellious and disrespectful teen is not your destiny either, so keep reading. Deep inside, we all have the right answers to these questions.
In our heart, we know what we need to do but stress, confusion and pain clutter our thinking. Teens are just on the way to adulthood and if they do not learn the skills to manage the overwhelm and gather the strength to make a change, they will grow up to be unhappy adults living without these skills.
At the start of the Be Happy in LIFE teen coaching program, teens say they know what has brought them into the situation they are in. They mostly blame others for their problems and they have no clue how to get their life untangled. Yet, with the right guidance and plenty of encouragement, they gather confidence, determination and take responsibility over their future. Teen coaching is the gateway to any future teens desire , where self-confidence, love, success, health and wealth are part of their everyday life.
Most teens cruise through life and react to uncomfortable situations, rather than having a clear vision of their desired life and pursuing that vision. We believe that starting early is essential, that everyone can be happy and that we have the right lessons and the right teachers to teach happiness.
Something there does not work the way they want it to work and for teenagers, it can be devastating. Teen coaching is a journey teenagers take on their quest for achieving their goals and dreams. A life coach is someone who helps them take that journey and guides them through the learnings they need in order to keep moving forward , stay on track and achieve success and happiness.
In teen coaching, they learn to understand themselves and establish good relationships with themselves and with others. It is very important to note that life coaching is a trendy name for something that has been around for many years — personal development. Teens can benefit greatly from growing and developing in the right direction, because life is an ongoing process of growth and progress. Every teen has the potential of being happy and successful. Personal development with the help of a life coach is an effective way of achieving it.
Life coaching is like a professional friendship that helps teens to achieve their dreams and desires. If all their life, teens have been told that life was not about what they wanted, the life coach is there to change that thought and teach your teen to want and use those aspirations as a guide.
Teen coaching is not for every teen. It is suitable only for teens that want to achieve something and are able to look forward. It is only for teens who want to be coached. If your teen is not ready for teen coaching, you can trust the coach to let you know this and refer you and your teen to other services that may suit your needs better.
The relationship between the teen and the life coach will determine the success of the life coaching program. Whatever the teen wants to achieve is OK and every desire is accepted as an honest one. The coach will help the young person find emotional blocks and help get their life flowing forward again.
Adolescents are not monsters. They are just people trying to learn how to make it among the adults in the world, who are probably not so sure themselves. The coach will be in contact with your teen between sessions, encourage them to practice their new tools and empower them to take small steps forward towards their goals achievement and success. This is a trap, which only reinforces the situation and increases their feeling of being out of control.
At Be Happy in LIFE, we believe that when people are clear about what they want, they are able to focus and align their energy towards their goals and have a smooth ride. Our life coaching clients learn to dream big and to want good things. It is like stepping into a magic zone , where many happy things happen to them and, like a ripple effect, influence all those around them.
We do believe that happiness is contagious! Consider this: when kids are young they learn from their environment and the people around them how to navigate through life. They develop certain habits and thoughts that were useful at the time when they learned them. Unfortunately, life is forever changing and evolving and what was right for them years ago no longer helps them as teenagers and they find it hard to navigate life under different circumstances.
Imagine your teen using an old map to find their way in a city. Things have moved on and it is tough navigating that way. Better yet, what if you gave them a GPS with automatic map updates?
Using childhood beliefs is like using an old map and life coaching helps get an up-to-date map and shows teens how to be confident, responsible and happy, like an emotional GPS. As it turns out, teens and adults have many old thoughts in their heads, which have become part of who they are. Keeping these thoughts makes them view the world as a hard, unfair and sometimes cruel place, which makes it hard for them to be happy and fulfilled.
After coaching for many years and helping thousands of people achieve success and happiness, we are confident your teen can be happy too with our help. As part of the teen life coaching program, the life coach will show your teen how to create new habits, new thoughts, new desires, new values, new needs and a better, happier life. Our teen life coaching program was written by Ronit Baras, the creator of the Be Happy in LIFE programs, who is an expert in emotional intelligence, has 26 years of experience and has written a book about teenagers.
In this program, teens are introduced to many research-based time- and stress-management techniques, the art of motivation, mind power, the science of human behaviour, meditation, the psychology of communication, relationship building and business development.
NLP is very successful as it helps to deal with the subconscious mind. The life coach shows teen clients how to use every technique on themselves and those around them, making it easy for them to apply them whenever they feel their conscious and subconscious minds getting out of sync. Thought I shoot you off a quick email to let you know that Aaron completed his grade 12 last year and is studying Bachelor of Engineering Hons — electrical and aerospace this year.
It has been three years since he met you and he still talks about the impact your sessions had on him. Nice for him to have some success and every year he is becoming that bit more diligent with his study habits. In the Be Happy in LIFE teen coaching program, teens learn assessment tools to discover where they are and where they are heading.
In their place, they choose new beliefs that promote success, abundance, relationships, support, love and good communication and happiness. The program helps teens find strengths from within and teaches them how to stay strong and focused even if life is not happening exactly the way they wanted by using their own wishes as a guide.
Not what their parents want for them. Not what their friends or their teachers want. Not even what their life coach wants for them. What they want! And they gain control over their mind, their body and their spirit for life. We do not focus on the past, we do not look for labels, we do not search for people or circumstances to blame for the unhappiness in life.
Instead, teenagers assess their situation, dream, plan their journey and start moving forward. Think of it as a driving course. If they drive looking backwards, they will have lots of accidents, but if they look forward most of the time and only look in the rear-view mirror from time to time, they will arrive at the destination safely. The young coaching clients learn that we all have pain from our past, but we can still succeed in life and be happy.
We just need to look forward. We learn at every session how to handle obstacles and setbacks , how to establish positive thinking and how to monitor growth with a new set of beliefs, values and rules to help us reach our goals quickly, while enjoying the journey along the way. The past in this program has no power to determine our future. This is the place to say that teen coaching is not for everyone.
It is suitable only for teens that want to achieve something and are able look forward. Teens who are in Discovery are aware of what has happened to them in the past and are willing to make way for the new person they can be. Teens in Recovery cannot do that. They are blaming and angry and may need a help from a psychologist. For a person in recovery, life coaching may be too demanding, because they see their emotions as part of their identity and they are not ready to let them go.
The meditation session was very good for me. It helped me understand my thoughts and calm myself down in stressful situations and deal with them. I learned how to speak and communicate. It was important to me. I understand how my subconscious works.
I listen to myself and try to correct myself. I like the person I am now. I think I can express myself better now, and I can notice how people behave. It has improved my relationship with my parents and with my sister. Since the course, we started to get along.
