Mentoring Mighty Minds

Mentoring Mighty Minds was established as a 501(c)(3) Non-Profit Organization in September of 2020. In that brief time we have made partnerships with school districts in Houston and other organizations in the surrounding area in order to reach a population that is in need of positive influences in the African-American male community. Mentoring Mighty Minds mission is to raise awareness of self; spiritually, mentally, and emotionally, within young men ranging from grades 6 to 12. As we strive to “Bring out the Brilliance” of every young person involved, we emphasize the steady and confident mindset that their current situation is not the totality of their existence. Our efforts will produce a new strong culture within this generation: In order to do better, we must first begin to expect better. Mentoring Mighty Minds is unique in its purpose because we have put an emphasis on building a sense of responsibility and ownership in establishing grounds of guidance and support around young African-American males.

With this program and through its activities, we plan to reach young males across the city in efforts to heighten the level of academic and social interaction among our special demographic. As members of Mentoring Mighty Minds, students/teachers, mentees/mentors will be involved in diverse activities that promote an alternate perception to analyzing situations and making the best possible decision when met with adversity. We also want to emphasize the importance of excelling in school as well as improving the social skills necessary to maintain a productive and healthy lifestyle. Activities stem from after-school clubs and community engagement events such as participation in the 21st Century program, STEAM programs and workshops, chess clubs, mental health seminars, weekend retreats and mobile learning opportunities in the community.
