On this #mentormonday we want to take just a second to talk about the gift of the relationships that are created through our signature Strike a Match mentoring program. . The one-on-one mentoring relationships created through Strike a Match are just the beginning of the connections Lead(h)er has helped create in this community and if you need a little proof, look no further than the Lead(h)er ladies in this photo. They have all found each over the past couple of years because of the new connections they’ve created through the program, and we are so grateful to have played a part in bringing them together! . We really are better together and we would love to have YOU join us. . Find out more about Strike a Match today! Link in bio 👆 . #keepfueling #tagtheqc #strikeamatch #mentoringmatters

“Lead(h)er gave me the confidence to run for City Council. It gave me the courage to make myself very visible. But most importantly, it has shown me that I am a leader and a role model for other women - young and old - to step out of their comfort zone and challenge themselves to be all that they can be.” . YES! This is what happens when women form supportive networks of other women who help them reach for their dreams! .

It’s #mentormonday and we have a match for you to meet! This is Alyson and Allie... Allie wrote to us last summer looking for a mentor who could help her develop her entrepreneurial endeavors. She is happily employed in the finance industry, but also had aspirations of starting her own business. Enter Alyson. As the owner of @platosclosetdavenport Alyson knows a thing or two about what it takes to move an idea forward and make it a reality. We just heard from Alyson and this is what she had to say: “I’m proud to share that my mentee, Allie, just this week launched her business of selling quality t-shirts online supporting organizations she believes in. I am so proud of her and am just happy to help her network now that she is up and running!” . We LOVE hearing about women celebrating the accomplishments of other women, so thank you Alyson! And congrats, Allie! Keep up the great work, ladies! . Want to provide support and encouragement to a woman in this community? Sign up to be a mentor today! Link in profile. . #tagtheqc #keepfueling

Meet our match, Delia and Nicole! • Nicole is a business owner who applied to the Strike a Match program hoping to find a mentor who could help her scale her business. Delia was just the woman for the job. She is smart, driven, and has undertaken more than one entrepreneurial adventure. She knows what it takes to create a viable business model, but also knows how to cultivate passion in the people around her.

It’s #MentorMonday - the perfect day for you to meet our match, Cayla and Nisha! Cayla wrote to us over the summer looking for a mentor who could help her form more meaningful connections in the community. She was interested in being paired with someone familiar with fundraising and development in a mission-minded organization. We knew right away that we had just the person for the job. Enter Nisha. As the Fund Development Officer for @familyresourcesqc Nisha knows how to be successful in this community in the exact areas where Cayla was looking for some guidance. We recently caught up with Nisha and she had the best story to tell us about how she and Cayla have been fueling career and community engagement. Check it out on the blog today!
