The 'I Can' project introduced a mentoring model for promoting self-esteem, building positive self-image, and reducing risk-taking behaviors among 10- and 11-year-old African-American girls. The research methods used were qualitative, including interviews, observations, surveys, inventories, questionnaires, and journals. The goal of the model was to examine how puberty, family, poverty, crime, and/or drugs may be related to low self-esteem. Results from the eighteen workshops provided insights to refocus participants' minds through mentoring, counseling, love, and education, while improving the girls' self-esteem, academic performance, etiquette, social skills, and developing life skills, and teaching them to give back to their communities.
