TRUE BEAUTY & VIRTUE MENTORING PROGRAM

Where it all began...

In 2017, Virtue in Christ began working year-round with teenaged girls in the West Baltimore community of Sandtown-Winchester to help them cultivate positive Christian character traits, and encourage their work in the community and in the church. Now on a regional level, Virtue in Christ has stepped in to provide mentoring and leadership training in the mid-Atlantic. This work is complementary to the work already being done by community partners and the  Church of Christ in Sandtown.

The True Beauty and Virtue Mentorship Program is a vehicle for mentoring young ladies, founded on Christian principles, and designed to imbue participants with decorum, self-respect, integrity, and Christian accountability in all situations. The program is designed to help ladies as young as 5 years of age maneuver life’s challenges by building self-esteem, self-efficacy for good behavior, and personal refinement through the advancement of Christian principles and personal development. Through our mentorship, participants will achieve the following outcomes: 

• Development and exhibition of an esteemed sense of self 
• Development of self-efficacy for personal motivation 
• Development of self-efficacy for servant leadership behaviors 
• Development and exhibition personal responsibility traits 
• Demonstrated knowledge and understanding of Christian value
• Dedication to continued self-reflection 

Volunteer mentors are paired with young ladies and will spend a year role modeling Christian principles, enjoying virtual or in-person fellowship, giving advice, and discussing issues important to the young women, especially as it pertains to obedience to Christ.
