Mentors

Central to the fulfillment of CGI’s mission is the relationships cultivated between the mentors and the participants.

On a yearly bases CGI recruits women from diverse backgrounds who have demonstrated a commitment to children and women’s issues.

During their two year (minimal) commitment, CGI mentors nurture bonds with each Cinnamongirl thereby fostering a sustained "sisterhood," and providing an environment in which each Cinnamongirl can develop her unique strengths and talents.

As each mentor shares her life and career experiences through monthly meetings, empowerment dialogues, and enrichment trips, they collectively expose Cinnamongirls to a breadth of perspectives.
