Alix de Saint-Aignan, a junior at Newton North, has founded a new program called Girls Connecting.  The goal is to connect 4th-8th grade mentees with high school mentors (from 10th grade to college) for an hour a week of video chat for support, help with schoolwork, game playing, etc.

She has successfully recruited enough high school-age volunteers to accommodate ~100 mentees, and they are now reaching out to find any 4th-8th grade girls who’d like to participate.  In such an isolating time, Girls Connecting offers mentors and mentees an additional outlet and source of connection to the community.
