Sue Boyle, Colleen Kokas and Nicole Sullivan recently became affiliated with a nonprofit program, SisterMentors, dedicated for over 20 years to transforming the lives of women and girls of color through education by providing them with long-term support that empowers them to pursue and achieve their educational goals. This cause is near and dear to us and we believe the cause is important to BCONE, LSRPA and SWEP due to your commitments to diversity, equity and inclusion. We envision the potential for collaboration with SisterMentors and our organizations.
As Ambassadors for SisterMentors, Sue, Colleen and Nicole are inviting you to learn more about this program and its mission by attending a Discover SisterMentors session on Wednesday, July 14 at 6pm. The session will be brief (40 minutes) and will introduce you to its work and successes. No one will ask you to donate money or to become a mentor.
If you are interested, please register in advance for the Zoom meeting.
When: July 14, 2021 06:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

SisterMentors: Founded in 1997, SisterMentors is a program of EduSeed, a nonprofit organization based in Washington, D.C. EduSeed's mission is to promote education among traditionally disadvantaged and underserved communities such as women and people of color. EduSeed's unique SisterMentors program changes the lives of girls and women of color through mentoring, promoting education and transforming communities. This two-fold mentoring initiative works both to help stop the high drop-out rate among girls of color and increase the number of women of color who earn doctorates. SisterMentors has helped over 90 women of color to earn bachelor's, master's, and doctorates. The women and girls are African Americans, Latinas, Asian Americans, Muslim Americans, and Immigrants.
