Jen Shepherd from Omni Research visited the YouthZone Pals Mentoring Program to hold a focus group with middle school aged mentees. Omni is working with the Women’s Foundation of Colorado to get feedback on issues middle school girls encourter, goals middle school girls have, why girls go to school or do not, and ways to improve mentoring programs for girls. All the girls in the focus group spoke highly of the Pals program and the benefit it offers.
