Strong Women, Strong Girls Pittsburgh is highlighted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for its innovative multi-generational mentoring model.
The article spotlights SWSG Pittsburgh mentor, Faith Collins, who recently worked on planning a field trip for her chapter’s mentees. Ms. Collins, who consults with her SWSG Leadership Coach as she raises funds for the field trip, “benefits from both sides of the program.”
Working as a mentor to the elementary-school girls in SWSG “has been an opportunity to help dispel female stereotypes that can get in the way of their achievement.” Ms. Collins also comments on her experience in the Strong Leaders program: “It’s good to have a positive role model who isn’t your mom.
