ABOUT FOLLOW MY STEPS

DID YOU KNOW?

Young Adults Who Were At-Risk for Falling Off Track but Had a Mentor Are:

• 55% more likely to enroll in college

• 130% more likely to hold leadership positions.

• 78% more likely to volunteer regularly

• 90% are interested in becoming a mentor

Our organization is headed by strong professional who are dedicated to elevating under-resourced students and their families. We understand that there is a disproportionate representation of minorities in key decision-making positions in all facets of leadership in the current time. We aim to close that gap by providing deserving students with the opportunity for financial, mental, and professional education. By offering mentorships to scholarship recipients, we aim to grow a network of like-minded individuals who will continuously give back to their communities and others alike.
