Abstract
GirlForward is a community of support dedicated to creating and enhancing opportunities for girls who have been displaced by conflict and persecution. Girls ages 14 to 21 who identify as immigrants, refugees, or asylum seekers are served by GirlForward. Amélie Malone worked as a GirlForward Mentor Intern for the academic year 2024-2025. The Mentoring Program engages girls in "4W" activities (Wellness, Wisdom, Wallet, and World) by matching them with female community mentors. As a mentor intern, I tutor girls, organize safe space events, go on home visits to meet their families, and manage volunteers. GirlForward hours for girls to hang out or receive tutoring on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays after school.
