The goal of Urban Mentoring Academy is to create an environment that is conducive to evoking change and growth amongst a growing group of middle and early high school students. Success is a must and this is only done through continual and consistent motivation, encouragement, and creation of opportunity for our young men. The founders of Urban Mentoring Academy understand that there are barriers within our surrounding community such as the lack of male figures that contributes to generational poverty, reduced pursuit of higher education, and crime. Therefore, the main goal has become the creation of “Communiversities” where our students have a safe environment with all of the tools, technology, and the support the need to explore future business and collegiate opportunities or aspirations.
