Mentoring
While ideas can be inspiring and uplifting, life is played out in the personal.
The Avenue seeks to engage each student where she is in life; that's why mentoring is the most important aspect of the program. With her mentor, each student applies what she learned during the monthly sessions to her own circumstances, setting goals and navigating the challenges she encounters.
The mentors are professional women and graduate students who lead each Module or serve on The Avenue’s Executive Committee. They meet with their mentees at least once a month, and gladly make themselves available outside program hours. Contact your mentor for details!

Have you heard about the PIPs?
The Positive Impact Projects (PIP) are the way The Avenue students translate their learning experience into initiatives and actions that they can carry out within their family and communities. Each student’s mentor helps her identify one to two projects for the year as well as the steps needed to accomplish them.
