Community All-Star Mentoring Program

PIP Project Team Community All-Stars is proud to introduce
The Community All-Star Mentoring Program
Encouraging youth to enter high school with a championed posture, both mentally and physically, then to exit graduation with a balance of pride and humility; ready to be a champion of life.

The Community All-Star Program will consist of one yearly S.E.L.F. Knowledge Forum and three sub-programs focusing on: health & nutrition through cooking meals for others; caring for our community through yard work; and, creating passionately powerful readers through a book and essay club. Participation is monthly on the 4^th Saturday each month.

*By Submitting This Application, Both The Child & The Guardian agree to participate in both aspects of the program.

S.E.L.F. KNOWLEDGE FORUM

Spirituality – Pastor/Principal Lee Roland will speak on Spirituality. He is Director of Principal Development with Epic Charter Schools, was Principal at Tulakes Elementary School for 10 years, and currently Pastor at The Parish Church. With a Masters Degree in Educational Leadership, his goal is to encourage students to hold their minds and bodies holy and acceptable unto themselves – no matter what religion is practiced. We are all connected to One Universal Spirit.

Emotions – Clinton Patton is a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters Degree in Human Relations. He privately practices therapy in our community, founded the Ashley Renae Hamilton Foundation, and has agreed to cover the topic of Emotions. His goal is encouraging students to seek healthy coping mechanisms and to avoid being a party in an abusive relationship.

Literacy – Stephanie Henson has taught at schools in both Canada and the United States. She is a former English teacher of Westmoore High School with a Masters Degree in Family Life Education. Stephanie will be covering the topic of Literacy; emphasizing how literacy connects individuals to a more successful community by contributing societal behaviours, truths and norms to economic growth, enhanced cultural diversity, and reduced crime and poverty.

Finance – Joe James, a Financial Educator from Tinker Federal Credit Union will cover the topic of Finance. With a Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership and a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance, he will simplify the process of creating investment accounts with the objective of relating consumerism to life-goal decision making. Bank accounts are important, but investing in a portfolio and trading stock are stronger ways of investing in a healthy and secure financial future.
