Program Spotlight:

To Be Inspired Mentorship Program

The Work

Our organization's primary objective is to advance our mission by providing free and low cost programs to the Yonkers community. Our success is not defined by monetary gains, but by the meaningful impact we have on those we serve. Explore more about our initiatives below.

Our Impact Areas

Mentorship and Inspiration

Inspiring Change

A mentorship program can be a valuable asset for both the mentor and mentee. It provides an opportunity for the mentee to learn from someone with more experience and knowledge, while the mentor can gain a sense of fulfillment from helping someone else grow and develop. Through our To Be Inspired Mentorship program we have developed a proven curriculum that deters gun and gang violence and delivers messages to the youth in a way that resonates with their interests, abilties and aspirations. Our use of credible messengers are the defintion of be the change you want to see.

Community Advocacy

Giving and Receiving 

In a world where many people are struggling, it's heartening to see communities come together to help those need. Whether it's through volunteering, donating, or fundraising, every little bit counts. Through initiatives like our annual Thanksgiving Giveback, the community is being of service by preparing hot meals and realizing their gratefulness. Simultaneously, individuals in need are receiving the assistance they so greatly deserve. It's a win for the giver and receiver.

Building Healthy Relationships

Changing Futures

Building healthy relationships and maintaining positive mental health are crucial for a happy and fulfilling life. Whether it's with family, friends, or romantic partners, healthy relationships require effort, communication, and mutual respect. Taking care of your mental health involves self-care, seeking support when needed, and practicing mindfulness. Healthy relationships with the people around you and with yourself are recipes for being an asset to the community you live in. Promoting healthy relationships directly impacts improving quality of life in the communities we love.  

Education &
Financial Literacy

Knowledge is Wealth

Education and financial literacy are crucial for personal and professional growth. Many young people turn to crime because of lack. Often they lack the tools necessary to make smart decisions in life and with their finances. By understanding financial concepts and managing money effectively, individuals can achieve their goals and secure their future. Whether it's learning about budgeting, investing, or debt management, education in financial literacy can empower individuals to make informed decisions and improve their lives.
