I want to extend my deepest gratitude for your presence at our recent annual luncheon. Your attendance demonstrated your commitment to making a difference in our community.
Thanks to your generosity, over $83,000 worth of scholarships were handed out to 31 Ophelia Girls at the luncheon. Two seniors received full-ride scholarships to UC Irvine and Fullerton.
As we continue our efforts to empower and uplift our Ophelia Girls, I wanted to take this opportunity to share another meaningful way you can make a difference: Become a Mentor
Mentoring is a powerful way to inspire and guide the next generation of young women.
By sharing your experiences, knowledge, and skills, you can help shape their futures and empower them to reach their full potential.
We are currently seeking mentors who are passionate about supporting young women as they navigate through high school and prepare for their futures. Your guidance and mentorship could have a lasting impact on these girls’ lives, helping them build confidence, set goals, and pursue their dreams.
If you’re interested in learning more about our mentoring program and how you can get involved. Your mentorship could make all the difference in the world to a young girl in need of guidance and support.
