Meet The Visionary! Alischa Hansford, Founder

 You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right. -Rosa Parks 



GLUE Mentoring Program

Jam Sessions/Group Mentoring: We will meet the 1st Saturday of each month. 

In-Person sessions have resumed for 2023. 


One on One Mentoring: It is not enough to celebrate “sisterhood” without also providing examples of strength. We can’t tell girls they can change the world without equipping them to take on the task. If we encourage young girls to dream big, we must provide direction and skills to help them make those dreams a reality.


Leadership Development: The leadership development program focuses on what it takes and what it means to be a leader.  


Self Love Program: Helping the young women realize their self-worth.


Field Trips/Community Service: Movies, Theatrical Plays, Volunteering at Food Pantries


Book Club: Promoting positive engagement and building literacy through reading. 

Mentoring With a Purpose!

Promoting Self-Awareness, Self-Admiration, Motivation and Inspiration!
