PAL & Mentoring With Purpose help bridge the gap
Mentoring With Purpose focuses on the unmet need of life skills training to reduce incarceration rates, decrease dropout rates and increase career potential for at risk 12 to 25 year olds. In 2020 we are adding a new component to addresses respectful and productive communication between law enforcement and young adults. Five of the factors directly influencing high incarceration and dropout rates and are low self-esteem, low economic ability, domestic abuse, mental health issues and substance abuse.
The PUT DOWN YOUR FAKE ID Leadership Conferences, educational stage play and “GET REAL” online curriculum from MWP provide a unique, creative and interactive options for youth to develop their self-confidence, leadership style, communication skills, establish career and education goals, while meeting with law enforcement and local counsellors that allow them to create a healthy relationship with adults and authority figures of all types while realize their own PURPOSE and full potential.

Athletes & Officers Mentoring With Purpose
This year’s event went was a great success. With the Vision of Former NFL Player, Frank D. Murphy and the partnership of The Tampa Police Athletic League (PAL), we were able to chaperone 30 kids from our community with ages ranging from 12 years to 18 years old to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Training Camp Experience. We spent time encouraging and offering perspectives from athletes and Tampa Police Officers on the importance of understanding their purpose, promise and potential in the world regardless of their perceived circumstances.
We were fortunate to have great partnerships and sponsoring from Play It Again Sports, Chick Fil’A, NeXus Creative Solutions Groupe, Firehouse Subs and our friends within the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Organization.
We hope to see YOU at our next Mentoring With Purpose Charity Event!

Why do you feel Grant Relief Finances would address the unmet need?
Generously donated funds would expand FREE access and allow tens of thousands of at risk youth in the Atlanta GA, Tampa FL FREE access to MWP’s life changing life skills programs, like The Put Down Your Fake ID leadership conference, Man behind the Helmet Educational Stage Play and the GET REAL online curriculum. The funds would also allow these programs to be hosted in the Atlanta and Tampa Public Schools and recorded so young adults can attend virtually. Virtual communication session would be added to give our youth input and a strong voice with law enforcement. Our founder has an established relationships with the correctional facilities to bring the programs to juvenile and adult detention centers as well conduct virtual meeting so young adults can meet with leaders in law enforcement. The platform will also allow provide access to additional resources they may need while avoiding in-person exposure, public embarrassment and transportation issues
