Millennium Fellowship Project: Empower Minds Mentorship Program
The Empower Minds Mentorship Program aims to inspire and empower young boys in the Atlanta area through mentorship led by Spelman College students. The program focuses on four key areas of personal development: self-discovery, building healthy relationships, substance abuse awareness, and overall well-being. Weekly 45-minute sessions create a safe environment for students to engage with Black male mentors who reflect their own experiences. Through interactive lessons and discussions, the program fosters confidence, emotional intelligence, and a strong sense of self, preparing students to navigate challenges with resilience and positive decision-making skills.
