Alexandria’s award-winning Space of Her Own (SOHO) program is looking for mentors who will spend a school year helping fifth-grade girls build confidence through art and STEM projects—culminating in transforming each child’s bedroom into a personalized space of her own.
The unique mentoring program pairs women one-to-one with local fifth-graders for weekly sessions from September through early June. Mentors and their mentees collaborate on professionally-led creative projects, then work together with the girl’s family to redesign her sleeping space using what they’ve created.
