Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Surprise Teen in Zoom Mentoring Session — and Send a Gift for Spring

When a teenage girl signed on to a virtual mentoring session, she was surprised to see Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on her screen!

To celebrate International Women’s Day and Women’s History Month

Meghan and Harry encouraged others to “unleash a groundswell of real acts of compassion,” with suggestions on their Archewell Foundation website

One idea was to “tutor a teenage girl who is navigating high school on her computer” — which Meghan, 39, and Prince Harry, 36, took on firsthand

Through volunteer organization L.A

Works and the “I Have a Dream” Foundation, which works to ensure children have the opportunity to pursue higher education

Meghan and Harry were set up with a teenage girl — who recognized her mentors right away!

“She had this moment of surprise and excitement when she got on the phone with the Duke and Duchess,” L.A. Works Executive Director Deborah Brutchey tells PEOPLE

“She knew of them, she knew a lot — she had been following Meghan’s story quite a bit, so she was very excited that she had the opportunity to speak with them”
