Phased E-Mentoring

Girl Security works with mentees 14-26 years of age from around the United States and its territories. We seek to pair women and gender minority national security mentors from all sectors, all levels of experience, and from all around the country with mentees who share a professional interest, identity, and/or set of experiences.  Girl Security’s flagship Mentoring Program provides support for beginner mentees (those exploring security pathways); intermediate mentees (those who seek guidance on relevant opportunities along their educational or training path); and an Accelerator program for career-focused mentees.
