Lady Buds, an initiative of the Spelman College Office of Alumnae Engagement, aims to help adolescent girls in the local Atlanta area become well rounded young women ready to contribute and advocate within society. Through effective personality testing, each mentor is matched with a specific mentee whom she will personally guide through the curriculum.
The Lady Bud program features steps based on the growth of a flower to teach our mentees that anyone, from any background, has the potential to grow into something beautiful and unique. The involved Spelman College mentors will not only have the chance to directly impact the trajectory of the lives of youth in the surrounding community, but they also will receive service hours in return for their choice to serve.
