MENTORSHIP
WHAT WE DO
Changing Minds Through Mentorship: Moral Therapy Initiative
Mentorship is a preventative approach to halting violence, or as we say on the streets, ’squashing beef before it starts.’ Through our proven Moral Therapy Initiative, our mentors provide healthy alternatives to violence by addressing the root causes, providing healthy alternatives, and empowering clients with the skills to walk away from violence.
HOW WE DO IT
Mental, Emotional, & Career Support
Mentoring is holistic. We call it mentoring “heads, hearts, and hands”—a nod to Booker T. Washington. If nonviolence is going to be a way of life, that demands mentorship—someone who can provide the mental, emotional, and career skill training you need for a better future.
