About Us
Our Mentees
Mentee profiles are coming soon.
Our Mission
Ms. Straughter’s Mentees mission is to provide youth in Philadelphia and across the world with educational, social, emotional, and financial programming resources that go beyond the resources provided in the school setting. Our ultimate goal is to put our youth on a path to realizing their place in the community and their potential to be agents of change countering the effects of violence, strife and the abandonment that plagues most inner city youths.
Our Values
1. Safe Space - Our first priority is to always be a service to our youth Mentees. This priority cannot be served if our actions hurt them more they help them. Therefore, we seek to give our Mentees a safe space where they are able to receive our care and attention without recrimination.
​
2. Community - We are in this together! We are dedicated to never leaving a Mentee behind and we will do everything in our power to help them succeed.
​
3. Preparation - We are preparing our Mentees for now and the future...The process will include up's and downs, but with the support of Mentors and the Mentee community, Mentees will feel empowered and know whatever obstacles they face, a support system is present to help them overcome.
​
4. Attitude of Giving - We want out Mentees to understand that having a spirit of giving can be just as joyous and rewarding as receiving.
