B.i.l.l.i.e. Inc. Real Life Mentoring
How do I join the B.i.l.l.i.e Girls program?
You would first go to the "Join Us" section of this website and input your information. You will receive an email response within a few days which includes the next steps to the process of enrollment; which includes: a phone call with a staff member and an invitation to our next event. You'll automatically be added to our email list and you'll start receiving information regarding our upcoming activities.
The process is very similar for VOLUNTEERS. Once you submit your online form, you'll be added to our distribution list and you will have the opportunity to engage with us on how to create memorable activities and events for our Billie Girls.

Frequently Asked Questions
02
How often do we meet and what if I can't make it to an event?
We meet on the 3rd Saturday of each month. Our meetings are considered "events" and some events are for B.i.l.l.i.e. girls only, others are open to parents and the public. Events consist of self-improvement techniques, volunteer events, recreational activities, etc.
We understand that teenagers have busy schedules due to school, sports teams, part-time jobs, other clubs/teams, family time, etc, so dont be worried. Notify a staffmember in advance that you will not be able to participate in advance.
03
What happens when I graduate from high school?
We would first congratulate you on your amazing accomplishment! Then we'd ask that you still come join us in our events as a mentor/volunteer in your free time. You'll always be a part of the B.i.l.l.i.e. family!
04
Is there a fee to participate?
We ask for an initial donation of $25.00 to provide each B.i.l.l.i.e. Girl with a t-shirt and a Billie Keepsake Box. Parents/guardians are responsible for paying the admission to events for their child. We sometimes are able to get sponsors to offset costs. Most events are FREE! However, we are a nonprofit organization, therefore donations are always accepted and appreciated.
05
Where is B.i.l.l.i.e. located and how do I get to events?
B.i.l.l.i.e. Inc is based in Richmond, VA and is launching in NYC (September 2015). We do not have a set location, which is partially the reason why we only meet once per month at this time. You will be able to view our events calendar in advance to see where we will be meeting each month. Examples of past locations include: libraries, restaurants, local businesses, etc. Parents are responsible for dropping off and picking up their B.i.l.l.i.e. girls. In the event that a parent cannot provide transportation, we will attempt to find a volunteer to assist with a ride one way or both ways. In order for B.i.l.l.i.e. Inc to find transportation for a youth, we would need to know at least one week before an event.
