Mentoring every young woman to grow and thrive
Why Flourish Mentors?
Flourish Mentors started off as a conversation between three friends who saw the very real difficulties and obstacles faced by so many young women around them, difficulties just navigating their lives day to day.
So Flourish mentors was born.
We would create a network of women with their own life experience to support every young woman!
Why Every Young Woman?
A third (33%) of girls and young women aged 7 to 21 say they’d like more help and support to find ways to enjoy themselves and relax. This need rises to 44% the older young women get (17-21 years).
