We hope you'll join us for an information session to learn more about how our program is structured, our expectations for mentors, the girls we serve, and how YOU can apply to become a SOHO mentor!Transforming spaces and transforming lives, SOHO seeks to create an environment in which girls feel free to grow, express themselves, and step outside of their comfort zone. By pairing mentors one-to-one with 5th grade girls, we aim to create the foundation of a long-lasting bond. Mentors and mentees work together weekly on an array of professionally-led art and STEM projects designed to help the girls gain confidence and value their creativity. At the end of the school year, mentors work with their mentee and their mentee's family to transform their mentee's sleeping space with the projects they've created together, empowering each girl with a true 'space of HER own'.SOHO mentors attend weekly sessions from September to early June from 5:30-8 p.m. on Tuesdays OR Wednesdays (program night is determined during the application process). Mentors must have access to a personal vehicle.If you are unable to attend, but are still interested in mentoring with SOHO, please contact Program Manager Renee Liden at renee.liden@spaceofherown.orgWe can't wait to meet you!For more information, please visit www.spaceofherown.org or our social media profiles on Instagram and/or Facebook. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/alexandria/2025-space-of-her-own-soho-mentor-information-session-july-22/100001419911526599 - **Event Categories**: art - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 0, max: 0, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Alexandria - **state**: VA - **country**: United States - **location**: Nannie J Lee Memorial Recreation Center - **lat**: 38.7970955 - **long**: -77.0537556 - **full address**: Nannie J Lee Memorial Recreation Center, 1108 Jefferson Street, Alexandria, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: 2025 Space of Her Own (SOHO) Mentor Information Session (July 22) - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/b8d9e4fcc222b1a5a88c0cfb97c3c80029f1cd5e73ae8d96515dcf23b355771f-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf5f1f5-gmir.jpg?v=1750419440 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is 2025 Space of Her Own (SOHO) Mentor Information Session (July 22) being held? - **A:** 2025 Space of Her Own (SOHO) Mentor Information Session (July 22) takes place on Tue, 22 Jul, 2025 at 05:30 pm to Tue, 22 Jul, 2025 at 06:30 pm at Nannie J Lee Memorial Recreation Center, 1108 Jefferson Street, Alexandria, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing 2025 Space of Her Own (SOHO) Mentor Information Session (July 22)? - **A:** 2025 Space of Her Own (SOHO) Mentor Information Session (July 22) is organized by Space of Her Own. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "2025 Space of Her Own (SOHO) Mentor Information Session (July 22)", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events7/banners/b8d9e4fcc222b1a5a88c0cfb97c3c80029f1cd5e73ae8d96515dcf23b355771f-rimg-w1200-h600-dcf5f1f5-gmir.jpg?v=1750419440", "startDate": "2025-07-22", "endDate": "2025-07-22", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/2025-space-of-her-own-soho-mentor-information-session-july-22/100001419911526599", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Nannie J Lee Memorial Recreation Center", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "1108 Jefferson Street", "postalCode": "22314", "addressLocality": "Alexandria", "addressRegion": "VA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "38.7970955", "longitude": "-77.0537556" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "Space of Her Own (SOHO) seeks a team of creative, culturally diverse, adult female volunteer mentors for the 2025-26 school year!", "offers": [ { "@type": "AggregateOffer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "2025-07-22", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "lowPrice": "0.00", "highPrice": "0.00", "price": "0.00", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/2025-space-of-her-own-soho-mentor-information-session-july-22/100001419911526599" }, { "@type": "Offer", "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock", "priceCurrency": "USD", "availabilityStarts": "2026-04-08", "availabilityEnds": "", "validFrom": "2026-04-08", "url": "https://allevents.in/alexandria/2025-space-of-her-own-soho-mentor-information-session-july-22/100001419911526599", "price": 0, "name": "General Admission" } ], "organizer": [ { "@type": "Organization", "name": "Space of Her Own", "url": "https://allevents.in/org/space-of-her-own/24155573", "description": "Transforming spaces and transforming lives, Space of Her Own (SOHO) serves fifth grade girls from under-resourced communities in Alexandria, Virginia.

Together they enjoy dinner and work on art and STEM projects like building shelves, constructing and wiring lamps and making pottery and self-portraits. They also participate in a series of team-building exercises to help develop the SOHO community and to identify ideal mentor/mentee matches. In the spring, mentors collaborate with families to give each girl’s bedroom or sleeping space a transformation, using items they have created together. The SOHO Club, for mentors and girls who choose to continue their relationships, provides monthly group activities and services throughout the girls' middle school years, helping to build long-term mentoring relationships and ongoing learning opportunities.Next Steps to Becoming a SOHO Mentor:Space of Her Own uses the following application process to ensure that we are safeguarding our most important asset, the girls in our program.Attend an information sessionFill out an online applicationComplete a virtual interviewComplete our background check processAttend four mentor training sessionsAttend multiple SOHO sessions to get to know all mentors and menteesGet matched with your mentee!Please visitwww.spaceofherown.orgfor more information." } ] } ] ```
