Transforming spaces and transforming lives, SOHO seeks to create an environment in which girls feel free to grow, express themselves, and step outside of their comfort zone. By pairing mentors one-to-one with 5th grade girls, we aim to create the foundation of a long-lasting bond. Mentors and girls work together weekly on an array of professionally-led art and STEM projects designed to help the girls gain confidence and embrace their creativity. At the end of the school year, mentors work with their mentee and their mentee's family to transform their mentee's sleeping space with the projects they've created together, empowering each girl with a true 'space of HER own.'

SOHO mentors attend weekly sessions from September to early June from 5:30-8 p.m. on Tuesdays OR Wednesdays (program night is determined during the application process). Mentors must have access to a personal vehicle. Attendance at an information session, a virtual interview, and a background check are required to apply.

We can't wait to meet you!
