Abstract

The Women Mentor Project, a component of the Fort Wayne Community School's Horizons Gifted Education Program, was introduced as a pilot model in one elementary, five middle, and three senior high school buildings during the 1982–83 school year. Funding for this project was made possible through the 1982 Gifted Children Advocacy Association grants competition and Ball State University Alumni Association. The project endeavored to provide gifted young girls with opportunities to develop their self‐esteem, leadership abilities, and career awareness through weekly guidance meetings and time spent with successful community women from traditional and nontraditional careers.
