Our Mission

Our Mission is to provide mentoring for girls between the ages of 10 and 18 in severely underserved regions of the United States. We provide resources so that our girls can overcome obstacles heaped on them by society merely due to their zip code.  Challenges related to poverty, education, training and health care just to name a few. 

Core Values

The success of P.E.A.R.L.S. Mentoring for Girls, Inc. is derived from an engaged and dedicated board of directors, leadership and staff whose collaborative process and work environment are guided by the following core values:

Purity
​promotes worth. Don’t let anyone tell you who you are.

Empathy promotes compassion to others.

Awareness promotes shedding light on problems that affect our community. 

Respect
​promotes morals. 

Leadership promotes being an ideal teenage girl.

Scholarship promotes knowledge.

Our Strategy

As a group, women and girls from the Mississippi Delta live at the intersection of multiple systems of oppression and lack of opportunities, yet few programs and organizations focus on their unique experiences, challenges and needs. P.E.A.R.L.S. Mentoring for Girls, Inc. programs seek to fill this gap by examining the intersectional factors that both drive and deny their leadership cultivation and opportunities. Our programs then prioritize a multi-pronged approach to help lead and launch traditionally marginalized young girls towards lives filled with opportunities for personal fulfillment, upward mobility, civic engagement and career advancement.
