Mentorship & Leadership

Thriving Under The Influence

Mentoring, Coaching, and Education Support

Mentoring is crucial for the success of African American youth. It gives them the support, guidance, and resources they need to overcome challenges, develop positive relationships with caring adults, and acquire essential life skills. Mentoring programs can also help address the opportunity gap by providing access to resources, information, and networks. By connecting youth with internships and job opportunities and guiding college and career readiness, mentors can help African American youth achieve their full potential and succeed in all areas of life.
