Employees and volunteers who believe they are the victims of harassment or who are aware of harassment should immediately report the situation to a supervisor, the director of human resources, a designated human resources representative or any manager or corporate officer.  Any employee or volunteers who thinks he or she is a victim of harassment may discuss the offensive conduct with the offender(s) before reporting it to management, but is not required to do so.

Platinum Minds will promptly investigate complaints or reports of harassment.  The investigation will be conducted and complaints will be handled in a confidential manner to the extent realistically feasible.  When warranted by the investigation, Aspire will take immediate and appropriate corrective action.  Such action may include disciplinary action against the offender(s) which may range up to and include dismissal, depending to the severity of the conduct as assed by Aspire.

No retaliation will be permitted against an employee or volunteer who registers a complaint or reports a harassment incident or against any employee who provides testimony as a witness or who otherwise provides assistance so any complaining or reporting employee, or who provides assistance to Platinum Minds in connection with the investigation of any complaint or report.

After Platinum Minds has taken appropriate corrective action to resolve a complaint or report of harassment, Platinum Minds will make follow-up inquiries after an appropriate interval to insure that the harassment has not resumed and retaliation has not been suffered.  However, victims and witnesses are not required to wait for follow-up.  If harassment resumes or retaliation occurs, the victim or witness is encouraged to contact an appropriate Platinum Minds, human resources representative, or the director immediately so Platinum Minds may promptly and effectively act.

WAYS TO DONATE

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.
