PROJECT MONA LISA

Youth Mentorship Program

Empowering the Next Generation of Queens
Project Mona Lisa is our signature mentorship program designed for multicultural girls ages 11-16. This program allows participants to build a solid foundation of self-love and self-worth through interactive activities and life application modules.

Program Origins: Houston (2018)
Launched at YES Prep Southside in September 2018, Project Mona Lisa immediately demonstrated its impact, with 90% of participants showing increased academic performance.

Current Impact: Denver, Colorado (2024-Present)
We are honored to partner with two exceptional Denver schools:

DSST Montview Middle School
Serving students in the Montview neighborhood, our partnership brings social-emotional learning and mentorship directly into the school environment.
