GAN Champion for Empowerment & Opportunity® (CEO) Mentoring Program Overview

The GAN Champion for Empowerment & Opportunity® (CEO) Mentoring Program is designed to complement the GAN Gateway To 3S℠ (GT3S) Program and the GAN Career Navigator Program. The Girls CEO Mentoring Program stands out by offering long-term mentoring relationships with successful women professionals in various career fields, providing personalized guidance, advice, and support tailored to the girls’ interests and career goals. Through these intentional connections coordinated by the CEO mentor and the Girl Mentee, the program empowers middle and high school girls to navigate their educational journey and career aspirations. By connecting girls with role models and equipping them with the necessary tools and knowledge, we aim to foster confidence, ambition, and success in their future endeavors.

What is a CEO? A CEO mentor, Champion for Empowerment & Opportunity® mentor, is an adult role model who is paired with a GAN Girl (mentee) as a complement to the Exposure component of the GAN GTS Program journey.

What does it mean to be a CEO Mentor? A CEO mentor acts as a positive role model to a mentee, introducing and exposing her to the realities of the career paths she wishes to explore. A CEO mentor works with a mentee, developing an ongoing, supportive relationship. As an adult role model, a CEO mentor typically discusses the mentee’s school curriculum and other coursework, provides input on future careers, and discusses related issues that may arise for the mentee.

What are Typical CEO Mentor Activities? CEO mentor activities are custom-tailored to meet everyone’s needs. Some examples of CEO mentor activities include lunch at school, office visits, sports events, hobbies, cultural events, museums, plays, or walking tours.

What Impact Can a CEO Mentor Have on a Mentee? CEO mentors can help mentees gain a better understanding of career opportunities, the requisite education, and necessary steps required to obtain vocational and personal success. Moreover, a CEO mentor can help a mentee boost her self-confidence, as well as her ability to relate to other individuals. Most importantly, mentees gain a role model with respect to their vocational and personal endeavors.

The Tracker reflects the annual points accrued (based on your Quarter) for all four focus areas, as well as the aggregate total. It is an easy way to see where you are excelling and where you might need more work. Points reset at the beginning of each new GAN Quarter.

Your GAN Quarter is the Quarter of the year in which you joined, expressed as QTR1, QTR2, QTR3, and QTR4. For example, if you joined GAN in January through March, your GAN Quarter would be QTR1. If you joined GAN in April through June, your quarter would be QTR2, and so on. Your GAN Quarter also controls your annual points accrual period. For example, if you’re a QTR2 member, you accrue annual points from April of the current year to April of the next year. This allows all GAN members accrue points on an annual basis in a fair manner.

You can see your designated GAN Quarter under “Edit GAN Profile” in the “My Account” section of the website.
Go to your Learning Dashboard either from “My Account” or the “GAN Girl Hub”, then click on “Show More” under left-hand pane, then click on “External Activities”. There you can add many different types of activities that all have point values.
