For the first time ever, the GCPS Community-Based Mentoring Program will be recognizing a “Mentor of the Year” at our annual End of Year banquet in May. We need your help in nominating mentors for this award. Using the link below, students, parents, and counselors can nominate a mentor by filling out the form. If you have any questions about this award or the process, please reach out to a member of our team.

This Women’s History Month, we lift up the voices and victories of women, telling stories of the leaders and visionaries who made history and the change-makers of today. We believe that all young people have the potential for greatness. Young women in this country have and continue to face a unique set of challenges, and for some, these are layered atop other forms of systemic discrimination. But time and time again, they have persisted and broken-down barriers, uniting with and learning from both older and younger generations of women. (mentoring.org)

The Community-Based Mentoring Program would like to thank all the female mentors that are impacting students each and every day.

On February 22nd, we hosted a series of inspiring events that showcased the power of mentorship and leadership. High school students engaged in a transformative experience while discovering their strengths with CliftonStrengths for Students. This empowering session was followed by an exciting college tour to Kennesaw State University, where students got a glimpse of campus life and their potential future.

Meanwhile, our middle and elementary-aged students enjoyed a day filled with fun and games. Through competitive competitions and lively dancing, they learned the value of teamwork and camaraderie.

Join us in celebrating these wonderful experiences and the positive impact they have on our students. Together, we continue to inspire and empower the next generation of leaders.
