Self-Care Saturday
A Day for the Girlies
Every once in a while, it feels good to slow down, have fun, and focus on ourselves. That’s exactly what happened during Self-Care Saturday, a special day just for our women mentors and the girls they walk alongside.
The goal was simple: to pause from the busyness of everyday life and focus on well-being. Together, our girls and their mentors spent the day reading, coloring, dressing up, snapping photos, and painting their nails. Each activity gave them a chance to relax, laugh, and explore new ways of caring for themselves.
For our girls, it wasn’t just about the activities. It was about seeing their mentors modeling self-care and realizing that taking time for yourself is something to be proud of. For our mentors, it was about celebrating girlhood and creating joyful memories together.
It was also a time for celebration. Of girlhood, of sisterhood, and of the special relationships that grow when mentors and youth share experiences outside of the classroom and daily routines. Days like Self-Care Saturday remind us that mentorship is not just about academic success. It is also about building confidence, resilience, and joy that can last a lifetime.
