Supporting girls that learn and feel differently

Who are we
We are Youth Mentors that specialise in working with girls and young women in the neurodivergent community. With almost 30 years combined professional experience in SEND our founders feel very passionately that everyone deserves the opportunity to fulfil their potential.
Be You Project aims to provide girls and young women the opportunity to grow, develop life skills and form friendships in a safe, understanding environment.
We aim to build a social network for girls who may not usually have the opportunity to take part in activities away from their family and home.
What we do
At Be You Project, we are passionate about creating safe, supportive spaces where girls can be themselves without judgement. We recognise and celebrate neurodiversity, understanding that every girl experiences the world differently.
Our approach focuses on strengths rather than labels, helping girls to understand themselves, build resilience, make friends and develop the confidence to navigate challenges in a way that works for them. Through creative activities, mentoring, wellbeing support and tailored learning opportunities, we help girls build self-belief, positive relationships, emotional resilience and a sense of belonging.
We create opportunities for girls to explore their interests, discover their strengths and realise their potential.
We offer a range of groups and clubs for girls and young women of varying ages.
Coming Soon....
From September 2026, we will be providing an alternative provision for girls that are unable to attend school fulltime. The sessions will be based around nature and animals and enable each individual to work at their own pace. Launch event details coming soon....
121 Youth Mentoring
Mentoring sessions with Be You Project are about building a trusting relationship and a safe space to ask questions and discuss anything that might be worrying them, as well as sharing celebrations when things are going well. These sessions are tailored to the individual. We will identify subjects that need covering in depth - guided by the young people and parents. These sessions are extremely varied and could be something as simple at how to navigate a supermarket with a list, catching a bus or basic social skills but could also include writing a CV, preparing for interviews or conflict resolution. These sessions can take place at school or elsewhere. The main aim of these sessions is to become a trusted advocate for the young person and an ongoing support for them and their family.
Independence and Life Skills Courses
We work in small groups to promote independence by taking time to go over skills that some people take for granted. Navigating public transport, ordering a drink in a coffee shop, buying cinema tickets or basic road safety and social ettiquette are all covered. These courses run for 6 week and each one offers a different set of skills.
