About Us

Hey There!

At Fireflies Mentoring, we believe every young woman carries a light within her—waiting to shine. Our community was founded to nurture that light through guidance, encouragement, and opportunities for growth. By connecting mentees with dedicated mentors, we create an environment where confidence, leadership, and resilience can flourish. Together, we aim to inspire the next generation of women to embrace their potential and step boldly into their futures.

Behind Fireflies Mentoring is a passionate team committed to this vision. Betty Gordon, Melissa Johnston, and Michael Thompson bring diverse experiences and heartfelt dedication, working together to create meaningful programs, resources, and mentorship opportunities for young women.

Our Mission
To empower young women by helping them think critically about themselves, their identity, and their goals—while providing a strong network of support and resources.

Our Vision
To cultivate a generation of confident, empowered young women who are equipped with the skills, knowledge, and mindset to become leaders in their communities and beyond.

What We Offer:

Mentoring Programs

Our mentoring programs are built around the power of connection. Through group mentoring, young women are paired with experienced mentors who provide guidance, encouragement, and real-life insights. These sessions create a safe and supportive environment where mentees can share their challenges, discover their strengths, and set meaningful goals. By learning from mentors and peers alike, participants gain confidence, leadership skills, and a sense of belonging that empowers them to navigate life’s challenges with resilience.

Workshops and Events

In addition to mentoring, Fireflies Mentoring hosts a variety of workshops, webinars, and events designed to foster personal development and growth. These interactive sessions focus on topics such as self-esteem, communication, goal-setting, career exploration, and mindfulness. Our events bring together mentors, speakers, and peers to create an engaging experience that inspires participants to dream big and take actionable steps toward their futures. Whether in-person or virtual, our workshops and events are crafted to equip young women with practical tools and encouragement that last far beyond the session.
