Youth Mentoring
and Development

To improve the lives of young people by providing guidance, support and resources that will assist them in developing the skill of “critical thinking” and becoming healthy, loving adults who thrive in serving their families and communities.

To counteract the negative effects of modern culture on our “Young People” and those that have distorted both their identity and purpose while offering support as they reach their destiny and become the men and women that they were created to be.

To provide support to parents, educators and youth advocates while preparing our “Young People” for manhood and womanhood, with an emphasis on exposure, connecting, and expansion.

Malachi 4:6 – “And he will turn The hearts of the fathers to the children, And the hearts of the children to their fathers, Lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”

Our Youth Mentoring Series (Outside The Outerbelt) offers guidance and support to male and female youth that assist with their personal growth and development in terms of their life choices and the consequences of said choices, and how their decisions not only affect themselves, but how those choices affect their families, classmates, their communities and society as a whole. We employ a structured curriculum which focuses on a number of topics which offer challenges to our youth in today’s society.

Part of our YMS includes training adult men and women specifically in the area of youth mentoring so that our mentors not only have the knowledge of “best practices” in the industry, but also to allow them to look introspectively at themselves and ask, “Am I prepared to be the best mentor that I can be, or can I improve in some areas personally and mentoring-wise?” The long-term goal of our YMS is to not only offer guidance, but to develop our mentees to eventually become mentors themselves, and to “give-back” to the community and be accountable!

Exposing our “Young People” to various venues outside of their environment, providing new learning experiences.

Expectation of our “Young People” growing into mature, accountable adults with an eye on giving back to the community.

Expanding our “Young People’s” minds by providing them with education that promotes a healthy, successful and responsible lifestyle.
