DOR Scholarship
The Daughters of Resilience Scholarship Program is a cornerstone of our commitment to empowering young women affected by parental incarceration. This program is designed to provide not only financial assistance but also recognition and encouragement for their remarkable perseverance and determination in the face of adversity.
Purpose
The scholarship program supports young women as they pursue their academic and personal goals, bridging the gap between hardship and opportunity. By alleviating some of the financial barriers to education and personal development, we aim to open doors to a brighter and more secure future.
How It Works
Scholarships are awarded to young women who have been directly impacted by parental incarceration. Applicants must demonstrate resilience, a strong commitment to personal growth, and a clear vision for their future.
Each scholarship provides assistance with educational expenses, such as tuition, books, and supplies, or personal development programs that contribute to their success.
Scholarship recipients gain access to DOR’s broader network of mentorship, skill-building opportunities, and community resources to help them thrive beyond the classroom.
Our First Recipients
We are proud to announce that Hannah Lang and Natalya Kirkland, two exceptional young women who embody the spirit of resilience, are the inaugural recipients of this program. Each has faced significant challenges but continues to inspire us with their strength and commitment to excellence.
Why
Your
Matters

Together, we can make education and empowerment a reality for the daughters of resilience.
The Daughters of Resilience Mentorship Program is a transformative initiative designed to guide and support young women who have been affected by parental incarceration. This program connects participants with experienced mentors who provide encouragement, guidance, and the tools they need to unlock their potential and thrive.
Purpose
This program is about more than mentorship—it’s about connection, empowerment, and building a pathway to success. By pairing young women with mentors who understand their unique challenges, we aim to inspire confidence, foster skill development, and create opportunities for growth that extend far beyond the program itself.
What We Offer
-
One-on-One Mentorship: Participants are matched with mentors who offer personalized guidance, helping them navigate personal, educational, and professional challenges.
-
Workshops and Skill Development: The program includes workshops focused on essential life skills, leadership development, and career preparation to equip participants for long-term success.
-
Confidence and Skill Development Retreat: An annual 10-day retreat brings together selected participants, mentors, and DOR team members for a blend of fun, education, and empowerment. The retreat offers workshops, team-building activities, and exposure to resources that help participants gain confidence and clarity about their futures.
Why It Matters
Children impacted by parental incarceration often face isolation, lack of access to role models, and diminished opportunities. The Daughters of Resilience Mentorship Program steps into this gap, offering a network of support that fosters self-belief and success.
Building a Lasting Impact
This program doesn’t just provide short-term solutions—it builds enduring relationships and equips young women with the skills and support they need to thrive in their personal and professional lives.
Your Role
By supporting the mentorship program, you’re not just donating—you’re investing in the potential of young women to achieve greatness. Together, we can create a future where every daughter of resilience has the opportunity to realize her dreams and contribute meaningfully to her community.
Join us in transforming lives, one mentorship at a time.

Daughters of Resilience Technology Initiative
The Daughters of Resilience Technology Initiative is an innovative program aimed at bridging the emotional and communication gaps caused by parental incarceration. This groundbreaking initiative leverages technology to strengthen bonds, foster healing, and provide practical tools to empower young women and their families.
Purpose
Parental incarceration often severs vital emotional connections, leaving children feeling isolated and unsupported. Our Technology Initiative seeks to address this by creating digital platforms that facilitate meaningful communication, provide valuable resources, and nurture relationships between young women and their incarcerated parents.
What We’re Building
-
Communication Platform: A secure, user-friendly app that enables young women to connect with their incarcerated parents through video messages, shared activities, and thoughtful prompts. This platform is designed to make communication accessible, meaningful, and supportive.
-
Resource Hub: A digital library that offers educational materials, mental health support, and guides for navigating the challenges of parental incarceration.
-
Tracking and Progress Tools: Features that help participants set goals, track their personal development, and celebrate milestones in their journey toward resilience.
Why It Matters
Young women affected by parental incarceration often feel disconnected and lack the tools to process their emotions or maintain relationships with their parents. This initiative not only bridges physical and emotional distances but also fosters a sense of belonging, hope, and stability.
Vision for the Future
The Technology Initiative represents our commitment to innovation and adaptability. By integrating technology into our mission, we aim to create a scalable solution that can be extended to thousands of families across the nation, providing support and connection where it’s needed most.
How You Can Help
Your support can help us develop, test, and launch this critical platform. Whether through donations, partnerships, or expertise, your contribution can bring this vision to life and provide a lifeline to young women navigating the complexities of parental incarceration.
