Empowering our youth with the skills for a brighter future.

Supporting education and innovation.

Our Vision

Chandelier Transformations Youth Mentoring (CTYM) equips girls and teens with the skills, confidence, and support they need to thrive in school, career, and life. Through mentoring, leadership development, college and career readiness, and hands-on STEM and tech experiences, we help youth see themselves as innovators, problem-solvers, and leaders in their communities.

When you partner with CTYM through this secure payment portal—whether you’re paying program fees, sponsoring a student, or sowing a donation—you’re helping us provide year-round mentoring, camps, workshops, and our annual Winter Wonderland experience for families across Tampa Bay. Every contribution fuels safe spaces, powerful role models, and opportunities that change the trajectory of a young person’s life.

Innovative Learning in Action

CTYM provides hands-on, future-focused learning experiences that prepare girls for success in today’s digital world. From STEM and space exploration to financial literacy, leadership, and emotional wellness, our programs give youth the tools they need to think critically, communicate confidently, and lead boldly in school and beyond.

Our programs strengthen academic performance, emotional intelligence, decision-making, and resilience—creating lasting change for youth and families across Tampa Bay.

Support for Communities

Education happens within the context of a larger community. Our approach extends beyond the school to help ensure students have the necessary support to do their best learning.
