Project details
What we need
- A photographer who will work with the Organization over 1-2 days to capture an important event or shoot a series of photographs to tell the Organization's story
- A set of professionally edited, high-resolution images delivered in JPEG or TIFF format suitable for web or print use
- Note: The photographer needs to be available in the same geographical location as the Organization or be willing to travel at own expense
What we have in place
- We have worked with catchafire photographers before and have loved the result! We have dates selected that would be a great time to get photos of the girls in our program and their mentors.
How this will help
This project will save us $5,048 , allowing us to allocate funds towards what matters most -- our program.
The success of our organization depends on demonstrating the impact of our mentoring program. Without your help, we cannot develop compelling fundraising materials to engage donors. Your skills will empower us to tell our story in the most exciting and impactful way.
Project plan
Our mission
The Strong Women, Strong Girls (SWSG) mission is to empower girls to imagine a broader future through a curriculum grounded on female role models, delivered by college women mentors, who are themselves mentored by professional women. Our vision is that every girl and woman will realize her inner strengths to dream, and do.
What we do
Girls in Boston, particularly girls of color, face a challenging future including high rates of poverty, violence, and mental health challenges. While we cannot prevent a girl from facing these challenges, we can arm each girl with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to face them head-on. One straightforward solution is providing girls with supportive mentoring relationships. Youth with mentors demonstrate higher self-esteem, better performance in school, and greater aspirations for college and career, all of which keep girls on track to pursue their dreams. Unfortunately, only 33.5% of Boston youth have their mentoring needs met (Mass Mentoring Partnership, 2010). Since 2004, SWSG has been dedicated to filling this gap in youth mentoring services for girls in Greater Boston by delivering a standardized core after-school mentoring program that serves over hundreds of girls (ages 8-11) each year.
