About Polished Pebbles Girl’s Mentoring Program

The Polished Pebbles Girls Mentoring Program

provides girls (ages 7-17) with the opportunity of

learning the vital life skill of effective communication.

In partnership with local schools, businesses, and over

150 volunteer mentors, we have helped girls exhibit

poise, react responsibly as opposed to retaliating,

demonstrate assertiveness instead of aggressiveness,

identify the difference between class and sass, and

become polished.

Polished Pebbles equips girls with skills that allow

them to develop the confidence and ability to:

• Speak up in class

• Join groups and seek leadership positions

• Communicate effectively and respectfully with adults

• Have peaceful interactions with their peers

• Prepare for future careers

We have a combination of school-based and community-based programming open to the public.
