Mentor Girls As A Classroom Volunteer

Become a program volunteer and help inspire girls to be strong, smart, and bold!

Why: Long-lasting mentoring relationships, a pro-girl environment, and evidence-based programming equips girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers, and grow up healthy, educated, and independent

Who: Girls Inc. inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, through direct service and advocacy. We serve girls (including youth identifying as female), 5-13 years old, living in under-resourced LA neighborhoods, and facing intersecting systemic inequities that limit the resources and opportunities they need to succeed. In 2025, Girls Inc. LA will be extending services to high schools to serve girls, ages 14-18. 

What to Expect: Bring your boldest self to empower girls to discover their inherent strengths and mentor them on making informed decisions while having fun.
In-class volunteers support instructors with weekly activities in our classrooms, assist in creating a safe and inviting space for girls, and guide youth to explore topics that will help them build community, think outside the box, and increase their confidence. 

What's Required: An in-class volunteer role is a weekly commitment to engage and mentor youth after school, once or twice a week, between the hours of 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm. Girls Inc. offers programs in the Fall from August- December  & the Spring semester from January-June. Volunteers are required to complete LAUSD and Girls Inc. requirements before volunteering on-site. Onboarding paperwork will be emailed to applicants.
