B.O.S.S. Building Out Successful Students

Description:

The "Building Out Successful Students" (B.O.S.S.) is a mentorship program that serves youth ages 14 to 18 in underserved communities. Our objective is to provide holistic support for Memphis youth encouraging them to tap into their strengths and reach their full potential.

Mentors guide participants in essential life skills, such as financial literacy, mental health management, coping strategies, and other practical skills. Additionally, students receive a stipend as an incentive for their participation.
Our sessions are held at various community centers across Memphis, allowing students to choose the most convenient location to either their home or school.
