Mentor a Diva:

"2Million 2Change"

Divas Build Futures Inc has launched its campaign "2million 2change" capital campaign raising money for our DBF All Girls Enrichment Academy.

Our goal is to purchase between 10-25 acres of land to began our legacy of building promising futures. 

​

On this land, there will be a state of the art academy that will offer the following trade programs;  

Medical Assistant, Dental Assistant, Automotive, Culinary

 & Cosmetology. Also including the essential

Home Economics, Womens History, Our Wilma Rudolph Track & field Sports Center, The DBF Creative & Fine Arts  as well as "The Ann Brown Housing"

with 3 apartment buildings.

DBF has developed an agricultural program that will teach girls how to grow their own fruits and vegetables alongside raising small animals. This will cover roughly 10 acres for farming and our greenhouse. 

DBF will provide transportation for our young ladies to expand by doing field trips to colleges, retreats and employment opportunity's. 

​

We at DBF believe, every young lady should have options in life when becoming successful.

30% of students drop out of college after their first year. When choosing a path to take in life sometimes comes with needed guidance and lots of support. Not every educational program was designed for every student. 

Only 11.6% of students who drop out will end up transferring and getting their degrees elsewhere. Here at DBF, we have developed a program where we want to see the numbers of students going elsewhere increase their chances at success and have the opportunity to grow and become just as successful as students who attend college. 

​

DBF is building better futures for women today by nurturing our youth and generations to come by impacting our families and communities of all cultures.

Mentoring is important, not only because of the knowledge and skills students can learn from mentors, but also because mentoring provides professional socialization and personal support to facilitate success in education, social skills and decision making.  Quality mentoring greatly enhances students' chances for success.

Here at DBF, our mentors become trusted advisers and role models – people who have "been there" and "done that." They support and encourage their mentees by offering suggestions and knowledge, both general and specific. The goal is to help mentees improve their skills and, hopefully, advance their careers.

​

3 Keys of Mentoring:

What is the mission behind mentoring?

• Life Preparation: Teaching girls how to define their goals and specific needs. Creating methods that works for each individual.

• To Counsel: A good mentor will be able to reflect on their own experiences to determine when the journey was more insightful than the outcome. In these instances, a mentor must play the role of counselor and provide guidance but not answers, enabling their mentee to figure out the right course of action individually.

• Cheerleader: We want to be here every step of the way!! Most mentors will know when it is appropriate to play each role. But that doesn’t mean that mentees should just let their mentor figure it out. Mentees should be open and honest about what they need and expect from their mentor. At the end of the day, whether the mentor is being a consultant, counselor or cheerleader, transparency and communication are two important aspects of a successful mentor-mentee relationship.
