Mission Ignite
Our Mission Ignite Program is designed to motivate our young men of color to become passionate, empowered, and inspired to achieve greater, be greater, and do greater academically!
Our program works with young men between the ages 10-15, to provide consistent exposure to a variety of careers, concepts, and ideas. Mission Ignite is committed to helping our young men of color build a legacy and create generational wealth through consistent exposure to greater opportunities.
Setting the Foundation for Academic Success in Young Men of Color Ages 10-15
Developing Our Young Men of Color ages 10-15 to Increase Their Interests, Skill Set, and Creative Design Abilities.
We recognize that our young men of color are not getting the proper (consistent) exposure to develop deeper knowledge and passion for professional careers. We recognize that these communities lack opportunities and resources to develop the necessary skills in young men of color to pursue higher education and professional careers.
Mission Ignite: Strategies & Objectives
Our Approach to Student Growth and Development
We develop our students starting from the ages of 10-15 intentionally and holistically. Our students are taken through a rigorous development course on what it takes to be an elite student and professional.
We empower our youth by developing A-level cohorts and curricula that caters to their interest, career focus, and needs assessment. We want everything that we do as an organization to be driven by the concepts, ideas, and thoughts of our students.
We inspire our mentees by showing them the limitless opportunities that are available to them through STEM and other professional careers. Our amazing career coaches focus on identifying career opportunities, pathways to success, and quarterly mentee assessments. Our goal is to instill a belief system that their dreams and hopes are achievable.
Our outreach is through community partners, local schools, using research to locate low-income communities and identify their needs.
Our attendance tracking helps identify mentees who may need additional support and resources that help them stay committed and not lost to environments that decrease the opportunities to be successful in life.
We ensure that our students are called weekly to eliminate any issues with transportation or if any emergency may arise.
