Focus Fairies Mentoring, seeks to provide one-on-one and community mentorship opportunities to girls 7-14 who live in Chicago communities plagued by violence. The organization was established in 2017 and has been consistently expanding its base of community support -- over 100 at-risk Chicagoland girls have received direct mentorship from one of Focus Fairies’ volunteers. We teach our fairies the skill sets needed to strengthen their self-awareness, become effective leaders and servants to their community. Our vision is to become a game changing mentoring and personal development organization for girls. Ultimately, we want to establish an organization that builds girls of character, integrity, and self-confidence. We just do not want to appear capable; we want to be inspirational and prove it.
