Message from The YMWAP Leadership Team
We know the value of mentoring through our own experiences as teenagers—the critical guidance we received “just in time” as well as situations where we would have benefitted from additional coaching. As leaders of Young Man with a Plan we hope to help our young men avoid some of the potholes we drove into on the road of life!
We know that it is a challenging world out there for our students and that many of them don’t see a place for themselves or a clear path forward. We also believe Boston (and beyond) offers endless opportunities if only our young men are aware of them and ready for them. We help students in the program to develop a belief system that elevates their vision of who they are capable of becoming and a Success Plan that outlines the steps to achieve it. We maintain supportive communications with YMWAP graduates as they fulfill or refine their Success Plans.
“YMWAP has been a great benefit in my life. Ever since the first session it felt like a family and put me with a group of role models who actually care about me and my future. YMWAP has changed the way I view myself and the goals I want to set forth for my life.”
