Empowerment​ and Spiritual Guidance Within Reach

About Us

Bee the Difference Mentoring Program is a non-profit organization, established with the purpose of providing Mentoring, Education Support and Biblical Guidance to teen girls and young adult.


 We yearn to provide teen girls, aged 13 – 18, with advanced communication, leadership, conflict resolution, team building, and decision-making skills to ensure overall welfare at schools, homes, and communities.


 Given the challenges that young girls face in their social and personal lives, we believe that by providing a caring and supportive environment, these young girls will not be just another statistics but will achieve success. 


Through this program, as well as facilitating outside workshops, conferences and special events, we strive to provide sufficient guidance to many youth and young adults through biblical insights and real-life experiences.


Our objective is to indulge in the sense of optimism and confidence needed to make a Difference.
