Our Mentoring Program



There are few opportunities in life where a young man can find someone who is able to put their time and energy in helping that student become successful. Platinum Minds provides scholars with mentors whom provide valuable insight and guidance and who commit to helping a student succeed. 

The Connection

 

These young men are excellent students who are motivated to learn, grow and prosper.  With direction and encouragement these learners will be on the path for changing and influencing society and their own lives positively.  

The Goal

 

As stated back in the 70's by six authors from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst."Too many of our urban students experience a lack of motivation and hopelessness as a result of their experiences in school".
