KBUG (Know Before U Go) Mentoring Program, connects students and Beach Cities Branch members, who meet on a monthly basis. Together they use career-centered software that provides step-by-step instruction on breaking down any barriers impeding the mentee’s pathway to college. Mentors, with their accumulated expertise, help students find their strengths, and then match those strengths to promising careers.
If interested, please text Dayla at (310) 944-5286 or use email at dayla.sims71@gmail.com. You will be joined by 20 other new mentors when you start out, and if you have a friend, sign her up too! It is fun to have a partner. The KBUG Mentoring Program inspires young feminine geniuses to flourish.
