A little something about us

Mentoring programs play a crucial role in guiding youth ages 8-18, especially those uncertain about their paths post-high school. These programs offer invaluable support, providing a safe space for exploration and personal growth. Mentors serve as beacons of experience, helping young individuals discover their passions, talents, and potential career paths. By offering guidance, encouragement, and real-world insights, mentors instill confidence and clarity in youth, empowering them to make informed decisions about their future. Through mentorship, young minds gain valuable skills, expand their horizons, and cultivate the resilience needed to navigate the transition into adulthood with purpose and determination.

Mentoring is a great way to pair subject matter experts with those wanting to build those desired skills. By pairing members, volunteers, students or employees together in mentorship programs, organizations can effectively facilitate knowledge transfer and experiential learning in order to develop participants. mentoring provides extra support that can help participants find their footing and build on their knowledge, while preparing themselves to be future-ready for what comes next.

The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.

Having a double Bachelor’s degree in Child Psychology and Human Resource it was and is my destiny to be of service to others. When asked to be part of such an amazing program I couldn’t say no. Just always wanting to do all I can to help guide those who will proceed me to be better than not only myself but those who they deem to be great. Inspiring and helping young people to seek there greatness no matter there current situation is what I feel is my purpose in life.
