She’sUp Iowa is a preventative program that strives to empower a diverse population of young women to make positive life choices. We believe that every young woman not only deserves a mentor, but also deserves access to resources and services to help them move toward adulthood successfully. She’sUp has partnered with multiple agencies in order to provide an umbrella of services that will give yout
h an opportunity to learn to make more positive life choices and to stay on the right path. Our overall mission is to empower young women to dream big and reach their full potential. She'sUp Iowa is comprised of group mentoring sessions, guest speakers, special events and much more. By providing an umbrella of resources and services to the youth in the program, they have a greater chance of success by having consistent preventative services and supports to help them dream big and reach their full potential. Upon referral to the program, youth will go through an intake process to help match them with a mentor and discuss any social, emotional and behavioral issues that they may be experiencing. The She'sUp Iowa program uses an evidenced based mentoring curriculum called "Winning Futures; Road to Success", which includes both pre-tests and post-tests to determine youths baseline level coming into the mentoring group, as well as measure success throughout the program.
