Power Forward Youth Leadership Mentoring is a mentoring program that places young boys into a positive environment where they have the opportunity to grow as an individual and learn valuable skills. Developed in 2009, this program aims to help deserving and under-privileged boys by fostering their leadership development, increasing their involvement in community service and giving them a positive self-image. The program offers the knowledge, structure and guidance to help boys have a positive future.
The program provides a place for consistent, positive relationship development between adolescent, peers and adults. Positive relationships are established and social skills are learned to better equip each boy in his life journey.
The program provides a constructive, effective and well-planned curriculum that teaches civic responsibility, encourages community involvement and establishes fundamental leadership skills. The boys are able to apply their newfound skills while getting exposure to career opportunities. The future is a bright place.
As our society becomes more complex, placing increasing demands upon individuals, it is more important than ever to return to a collaborative effort as a means of teaching children the skills necessary to become successful adults. We believe that implementing programs, such as the Power Forward Youth Leadership Mentoring Program, have the potential to transform the lives of families and help produce the kind of leaders needed for future generations.
