Developing Opportunities for Personal Enrichment
​
Mentorship assists in bridging the gap between people, growth, empowerment, and goals. We must deposit value systems into the minds that are terrible things to waste. The key to our success is reaching them while they are young. We must be the peer pressure that they respect. We must be the data that they collect.
​
DOPE caters to the at-risk teenage male and female demographic that needs structure, understanding, a chance, a challenge, and the presence of responsible adult role models.
Our vision is to effectively become a resource in the community that can provoke and inspire fertile minds to receive information, discern information, and use information. We want to relay that there is nothing that is impossible with not HARD but SMART work ethic.
We also want to instill as early as possible that success is dependent on how flexible one is with the following: character, integrity, common sense, perspective, and flexibility.
​
Our goal is to impact as many young lives as we can.
​
The mission of the DOPE (Developing Opportunity and Personal Enrichment) Program is to provide youth and adults who are at risk (physical, mental, and economic) with a safe, structured, and relatable problem-solving skills delivered through experienced facilitators relying on proven best practices.
​
We will deliver workshops and breakout sessions that include lectures, power points, webinars, audio, and visual streams. We stay at the forefront of technology as this is the only way to effectively communicate with this generation. This program fosters trust, builds character, and makes the learning environment comfortable to learn in because it is genuine.
​
Through this program, we hope to decrease and prevent child abuse, suicide, dropout rate, bullying, and investing in delinquent and unproductive behavior. At D.O.P.E. there is nothing that cannot be accomplished when it comes to the welfare of our children.
​
The mentoring sessions will be structured to the client’s needs. We will focus on education(STEM), life, and cognitive skill best practices. More importantly, we will focus on character building, social skills, decision-making skills, conflict resolution, and accountability of actions. We want all that participate to grow into well-rounded, responsible, productive members of society.
​
We will hold sessions to fit the individual or collective schedules whether summer break, winter break, or during school sessions. We want the atmosphere to be inviting and comfortable to afford a chance of tearing down walls and replacing those walls with growth, security, and empowerment. We will elevate empowerment, initiative, and self-esteem.
