While we weren’t able to celebrate the amazing service and accomplishments of our college women mentors together as a group this year, we are incredibly proud of their dedication to our girls and the mission of SWSG. To each of our mentors, THANK YOU for your hard work and commitment, and we can’t wait to see you back in the Fall. To our graduating seniors, WE’LL MISS YOU! We hope this is not goodbye and that we see you back at SWSG events very soon.
