Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors is made up of passionate leaders who keep Be Strong Together running with heart and purpose. Each board member leads one of our core teams (management, social media, programming, fitness, fundraising, or relations) and brings their own ideas and energy to the table. Board of Directors have the option to be a mentor as well.
Together, they shape the direction of the program by:
- Creating meaningful and engaging experiences for our kids and families
- Brainstorming new ways to grow and improve what we offer
- Supporting mentors and volunteers with training, guidance, and resources
- Managing day-to-day logistics and behind-the-scenes planning
- Building strong relationships with parents and ensuring they feel informed and supported
From planning fun lessons to coordinating fundraisers, our board works hard to make sure every part of BST runs smoothly—and feels like a community.
Our Board of Directors has been finalized for this year, and there are no open positions at this time.

Social Media Team
Our social media team shares the heart of Be Strong Together online. From weekly recaps and mentor spotlights to uplifting posts and behind-the-scenes moments, they help create a welcoming digital space that celebrates and showcsaes our community.
Mentors Team
Our mentors are the heart and soul of Be Strong Together. They’re more than just our volunteers… they’re leaders, role models, and big sisters to our mentees. Each mentor is matched with a small group of 1–3 kids, building real connections over the course of the program. They’ll spend 45 minutes a week with their girls during our designated class time.
Mentors lead with compassion by:
- Creating safe spaces for their mentees to share, learn, and grow
- Planning fun and meaningful activities to build confidence, self-esteem, and resilience
- Sharing their own experiences to inspire and empower
- Encouraging curiosity, kindness, and self-love
- Showing up each week with energy, warmth, and care
- Celebrating every small win, and offering support through challenges
Their one-on-one impact is what makes our program so special—reminding every girl that she is seen, heard, and never alone.
Applications for mentors for the 2025-26 year will open in August 2025.
