Mentoring Programs
I CAN. I WILL. I MUST!
United together by the passion and desire to make their lives better than they were yesterday, our team meets our youth directly where they are to ignite our youth toward positive and productive futures.
Led by our Executive Director and mentors who once made life-altering decisions, our youth are given the opportunity to learn, engage, and connect with supportive adults from all walks of life, especially ones who come from the same humble beginnings. Our mentors are able to expose the false perceptions of social and digital media, peer pressure, and other social challenges. Youth are able to ask questions and learn from the mentors’ experiences in an authentic way that will hopefully prevent the youth from the people and places that once made their lives unmanageable; ultimately helping break the generational cycles of struggle within marginalized communities.
I Believe In Me operates an after school and summer program for youth between the ages of 6-16 whom may not necessarily believe in themselves for a variety of different reasons. Until they do, our team will stand in the gaps and be the light that will support them on their journey toward positive and productive futures. Upon entering the facility, youth are provided with a nutritious snack, educational assistance, full group and one on one mentoring, as well as activities that promote physical activity and positive social interaction.
We are not just a youth empowerment organization; we are a FAMILY!
Our mission is to inspire and challenge youth through mental, physical, and social activities that fosters self respect and respect for the world around them.
