The ages that are targeted to mentor are the ages between 4 years old thru 14 years old. In the organization we also offer parenting skills training to enhance parent child relationships. This organization is a resource for those who are broken inside, suffering from low self-esteem, single parent obstacles, divorce, joblessness, and those who feel they don't meet the qualification to get a high school or a college education. Thelma set goals and succeeded for beyond the expectation that were put on her, and is active role model and advocate for youth in her community today.
