"Our mission is to instill pride and the belief that anyone can make a difference. Everyone can achieve academic success, fulfill their goals and dreams--with a little help"
Anneice Newkirk, Founder/Executive Director
National and local research has proven that mentoring programs have enriched the lives of young people, provided positive adult contact, support and advocacy.
Mentoring has also been proven to be an effective tool in overcoming risk factors that could lead to problems associated with educational failures, dropping out of school, and delinquent activities which include gang crimes and drug abuse.
The Mentoring Group is a nonprofit 501(c)3 full-service mentoring agency, providing one-on-one and group mentoring opportunities for in school youth between the ages of 12-21 years old. Our goal is to pair each child in the program in a one-one one mentoring friendship and engage them in innovated group activities with trained, caring adults who will promote change, foster individual responsibility and respect, while building confidence. We also provide technical support to community and faith-based mentoring organizations.
