Mission:  Because I Said So, Inc mission is to provide life skills training that will positively impact the lives and futures of the young ladies in our community. We are a 501 (c) (3) non profit organization located 25 miles outside of Atlanta metro. 

   

Goal:  Our goal is to help build healthy self-esteem in teenage girls in a non-competitive environment.  BISS will provide counseling, financial literacy and other outreach programs in an effort to combat teen pregnancy, illiteracy and increase awareness in our community.

Our program is an 8 month long commitment between the mentor and mentee. Every 3rd Saturday of the month, mentors and mentees spend 2 hours together, participating in fun and enriching activities.

 

We strive to:

 

  • Improve the mentee's self worth
  • Help them to make wise choices
  • Understand the importance of getting their education
  • Follow their path in destiny and purpose
