BEAUTY IN
VOLUNTEERING
BECOME A MENTOR
Mentors are essential for young women because they help them navigate life's challenges and realize their full potential. Young women gain self-assurance when they have role models who show them what is possible and who share their experiences of triumph over adversity. Mentors not only extend their mentees' professional networks, but they also provide invaluable advice, assist in overcoming obstacles, and open doors to new opportunities. Mentoring helps young women develop abilities including confidence, poise, and analytical thinking. Young women get self-assurance from their mentors because they learn to value themselves and their talents. Lastly, mentors offer emotional support by fostering an environment where mentees feel comfortable expressing themselves and overcoming obstacles.
HOW TO BECOME A MENTOR
At Beautiful I Am, Inc (BIA), we prioritize the safety and well-being of our members, which is why we are dedicated to selecting and retaining the most qualified staff and volunteers. As part of our thorough screening process, BIA conducts background checks on all employees and volunteers, including minors, who have direct and repetitive contact with children. These checks may include name-based or fingerprint-based record searches to verify identity, a National Sex Offender Registry search, and a national criminal record search. These checks are conducted prior to employment or volunteer agreements and repeated at regular intervals, ensuring ongoing safety measures not exceeding a twelve (12) month timeframe.
