Thursday, July 9 – SOHO Orientation for Volunteers

The Space of Her Own (SOHO) program is an art-based mentoring program for pre-teen girls. The orientation for prospective adult female volunteers who are interested in mentoring preteen girls will take place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Hammond Middle School, 4646 Seminary Rd. Mentors and participants will attend workshops and engage with team-building activities, complete community service, and learn life skills and artistic concepts, techniques and processes. This year’s program runs on Thursday evenings throughout the school year. Each mentor commits to a year-long relationship with her mentee, Thursday evening sessions, a weekend spent on a room renovation, and 8 hours of community service with her mentee.
