Frederick Douglass Reading Program, March 23, 2018

Scholar training will take place for the reading program on March 16th. This 10 week program is designed to aid our young male, “Rising Stars” with mentoring, and reading and writing enrichment, and so much more.

OUR PROGRAM

The Success of our Scholars depends on the generosity of individuals like yourself

The Platinum Minds scholars are dedicated students on the right path. The boys and young men are selected for their character and interest in community and leadership. Our task is to keep them on this path. We do so by providing guidance, opportunities, educational resources, knowledge, and a sense of self-efficacy.
Indeed, many of them are surrounded by varying degrees of poverty, drugs, gangs, and peers heading in the wrong direction. Our scholars are good kids with the intelligence and motivation to do well academically and be positive role models to those around them.
As an education/ leadership organization, your donation is the difference needed to receive the educational and leadership guidance and resources, enabling them to reach their full potential and make a positive difference in their lives and those around them.

Make A Difference

Summer Camp

($700 sends a young man to summer camp)

Our summer camp experience offers students the opportunity to learn and develop their leadership skills, healthy lifestyles, and essential life skills. Camp participants also escape urban settings to experience an environment where they can build sportsmanship, interpersonal communication skills, personal responsibility, and self-esteem. Help a student attend an overnight two weeks summer camp experience.

Arete Leaders Program

($1026 supports a young scholar for an entire year)

We created the Arete’ Leaders Program to develop future leaders. Through monthly sessions, scholars are exposed to learning experiences that are designed to bring out their natural leadership abilities. The program’s goal is to train the scholars to think creatively and act collaboratively to have a positive impact within their schools, families, and communities.

Mentoring

(For $205/yr you can make a difference in a young man’s life)

In the Mentoring Program, students are matched with a caring and supportive adult mentor and role model. These committed volunteers provide guidance, understanding, and tutoring to help their mentees better manage their high school years. Students learn to balance school work, extracurricular activities, and college preparation.

Academic Scholarships

($8000/ yr. can help a young man go to a better highschool)

The opportunity to attend the best schools is a gift that changes lives forever. Too many talented young men never get the chance to excel to their potential. Proving the financial resources to receive a top-quality education, scholars get the opportunity to contribute productively to society and reach their dreams. You can sponsor a student to go on to secondary school to learn in a safe environment and where academic achievement is valued. Thank you for bringing better educational opportunities to boys who excel with a little guidance.
