About Sistahs' Ca Nect

A circle of love for every young woman.

Mentorship. Life coaching. Sisterhood. Since our beginning, we've walked alongside adolescent girls—ages 12 to 18—helping them discover who they are and who they can become.

Sistahs' Ca Nect Inc. was established after sensing a desperate need for sisterhood among young adolescent women. Statistics show that healthy female relationships promote a sense of belonging and cohesiveness among young women and their peers.

Our program provides girls with planned exercises, group discussions and lectures to create a framework to explore their values, self acceptance, healthy choices and career plans for the future. We teach our girls valuable life skills and ways to help them discover their own inner strength and power to overcome life's many challenges.

Our Mission

To create a network of positive self-confident women, and to help young women discover their inner strength and self worth, as this promotes healthier family structures and stronger communities.

Our Purpose

Sistahs' Ca Nect, Inc. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that provides mentorship to girls ages 12–18, specifically designed to address each girl's unique characteristics and challenges that young women face in today's society. Facilitators meet weekly at various schools where group sessions are held. The girls are arranged in a circle of love as we discuss topics such as: self-esteem, confidence, peer pressure, bullying, sex, abstinence, drugs, careers, and more.

The purpose of the group sessions is to provide a safe and cohesive atmosphere for girls to express themselves, be heard and feel a sense of belonging. Our program places emphasis on cultural, mental emotional development and self-esteem with a strong concentration in business and career preparation.
