ABOUT US

Founded by Tracy Wilson Mourning, the Honey Shine Mentoring Program’s mission is to encourage the balance of mind, body and soul in girls and women by providing nurturing experiences that enlighten their paths and empower their future.

Honey Shine holds bi-monthly workshops, fieldtrips, and a four-week summer camp each year.

GROUP MENTORING

Statistics show that children, including teenagers, with positive role models in their lives tend to make better choices. Important to the success of the Honey Shine Mentoring Program are the mentors who provide guidance to our young girls, who we warmly refer to as Honey Bugs. Mentors share their personal experiences and help guide our Honey Bugs to a healthy and happy future.

SISTERHOOD

Each workshop demonstrates the commonality that exists between all of us. The opportunity to give back is primarily the motivation for our mentors, but more often than not, they receive more through the relationships they develop with our Honey Bugs, who later become mentors themselves.

JOURNALING

Expressive journaling is used as a tool for our Honey Bugs to capture their feelings and share their experiences. Journaling encourages each girl to document important moments in their development, which will later serve as memories of their milestones and accomplishments through the Honey Shine Mentoring Program.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Honey Shine provides a platform for young girls to develop their own voice as women. Our program encourages Honey Bugs to breakthrough stereotypes and helps them visualize their place in society as strong leaders. Our unique forum allows us to discuss leading women issues and learn from the challenges that many great women before us have faced.

WARMTH

Honey Shine, and the women who support us, are there to nurture the Honey Bugs whom are the most vulnerable and generally forgotten in society. These girls are often lost in the shadows, and with attention, encouragement and shared wisdom from women who care, they can aspire to achieve all of their dreams.
