This guide was developed to advance best practices and fill research gaps related to mentoring Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) girls. Using a youth participatory action research approach, the research project involved youth in all steps of the process from design to dissemination. The study was led by a team of 10 BIPOC girls and young women ages 14-25 in partnership with the Youth Mentoring Action Network. The youth researchers designed interview guides, recruited participants, conducted focus groups and interviews, analyzed data, and devised recommendations. There were 45 BIPOC girls ages 14-25 who participated in the project as interviewees and focus group members. The youth researchers' insights and recommendations are grounded in the lived experiences of BIPOC girls in their community. This report outlines the project process, key findings, and ideas for action to guide effective, culturally responsive mentoring programs.
