The Mentoring Center
The Mentoring Center is an after school program designed as a combination daycare and school. Our students will learn some basic skills that are necessary for them to face the challenges of life and succeed.
Our students will learn our overall core values of Honesty, Integrity, Self-Esteem, Moderation, Encouragement, and Non-Violence.
They will also be taught the value of education with homework studies and tutoring if needed. Other basic skills taught will be life / social and character building as well as basic computer skills. There will also be a few therapeutic recreation activities designed to help them grow.
Our students will also learn a couple of special skills like how to make their beds, tying shoe laces, telling time with a second hand and even riding a bike. A few sports activities also will be added.
Our students will also be involved with some outside activities with taking trips to the park and other community settings.

For our students ages 7-13. This is the component that begins the process of teaching and challenging our students with acquiring the basics skills needed to start developing a positive lifestyle. Within The Mentoring Center will be special labs designed to start teaching our students these skills such as:
The Skills Lab: Designed and utilized to teach our students homework studies and tutoring as well as basic life, social, and character building skills. Special skills will also be taught such as tying shoe laces, telling time with a second hand, and even riding a bike.
The Computer Lab: The primary function will be to educate our students on basic computer skills and a variety of other tasks. This lab will also double as part of The Recreation Lab.
The Recreation Lab: Our students will conclude their day enjoying a variety of activities. This lab will be instrumental in teaching our students how to interact and get along with each other while learning how to win and lose with a positive attitude.
In addition we added a component designed to tie their behavior at home and school to The Center. Being good will enable them to participate in a variety of inside and outside activities planned at The Center.
L.E.G.A.C.Y. Builders Program
L.E.G.A.C.Y. Builders Program
For our students ages 14-17. This is the continuation component of the God Father Program where our students will be challenged on a higher level with more skills appropriate to their ages. It guides our youth through high school to adulthood giving encouragement toward their aspirations whether they want to go to college, own a business, or enter the working world.
We will direct our youth on how to proceed on all those levels. We plan to focus on the youth's interest and lead them on how to set goals and achieve them. Legacy Builders will develop individual character, integrity, respect, and confidence to increase their abilities. Our students will learn skills specific the their age group such as effective interviewing techniques, dressing and grooming for success, effective communication, etc.
As our youth are given these concepts of handling life better, they get to see their lives change for the better as they eventually will create a loving home environment, healthy relationships, solid marriages, and better parents for future generations.
When our youth eventually leave the program they will still have the opportunity to contact us for guidance or direction for whatever challenge they may be facing through our aftercare initiative.
Our core values of Honesty, Integrity, Self Esteem, Moderation, Encouragement, and Non-Violence along with our mentoring components will give our youth exactly what they need to thrive in today's society.
