Gritty & Conscious Mentoring promotes strong intra and interpersonal skills, and reasserts a sense of hope in the future.
Our goal is to empower youth by providing positive reinforcement and offering a positive support system to help avoid or overcome the pitfalls that can derail their lives.
When a flower doesn't bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.
An emotional awareness component is integrated within the framework and approach of the Mentoring relationship. Mentors will provide guidance through a strength-based theoretical perspective to address concerns of youth.
The Mentoring relationship will cultivate emotional intelligence and self-awareness through theory, assessments, animated vignettes, video clips, mindful techniques like meditation, and psycho-educational workshops. Mentees will be able to see themselves and others, as well as analyze their own and others’ behaviors.
“No one can do everything, but everyone can do something, and together we can change the world. Together we can face any challenges as deep as the ocean and as high as the sky. Together we can do great things”
— Mother Teresa
