Welcome to Strong Leaders!

Thank you for your interest in the Strong Leaders program of Strong Women, Strong Girls. Strong Leaders is a mentoring program designed to match our undergraduate volunteers with professional women through the greater Pittsburgh area. SWSG strongly believes in multigenerational mentoring - just as our elementary school girls are supported by our college women, our college women need support from adult volunteers. We believe that every woman in our program can learn and grow from each other, and by building a network of support and community, we can achieve our vision that every girl will realize her inner strength to dream and do. 
 
Strong Leaders has multiple ways to be involved: 
  • One-on-one mentoring pairs between undergraduate and professional women
  • Group mentoring sessions with undergraduate and professional women
  • Volunteer opportunities for on-campus field trips and SWSG events
 If you've been involved in Strong Leaders before, you may notice that we've added a group mentoring option! We're continually evaluating our programs, and making changes based on the feedback and suggestions we receive from our mentors. We greatly appreciate the time and effort our volunteers donate to our programs, and we understand that they care about our mentors just as much as we do. These program changes are based on the feedback we've received from our strategic planning initiatives. We think they'll make our Strong Leaders program even better.  There's no limit to how you can be involved, and we're still maintaining our one-on-one relationship pairs.
