About Us – All THAT

OUR MISSION IS TO MENTOR TEENAGE YOUTH IN AN ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT, LIFE SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND CAREER PLANNING TO SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND BEYOND.

The Scope of Our Work

Imagine teens working together – engaged… hopeful… curious… participating in purposeful, life-enhancing, community building activities.

Picture teens previously considered “at-risk” looking forward to graduation – confident that they are qualified to succeed in life.

Previously defiant, angry, disengaged teens are excited to learn new skills and are working hand-in hand with community leaders to revitalize their neighborhood.

The Statement of Our Work

We are caring adults who provide insight and guidance to disconnected teens who are at risk of becoming angry, frustrated, unemployable adults with drug, alcohol, and violence issues. We, mentor, develop and empower teens by helping them attain certifications, explore and prepare for 21st-century careers, build character, and apply skills needed to earn a stable, living wage income

Our Tribe: We are a diverse and mutually supportive community of caring adults.

The Pillars of our Work

We Mentor teens – In group settings, we share our knowledge and life experiences to help teens maintain their motivation when all seems pointless. We purposefully build and encourage healthy relationships among all participants and embrace the positive side of all of life’s situations.

With help from local agencies, colleges and universities we offer a diverse array of programming which provides an open forum for students to design their own solutions to the numerous challenges that they face. As students share their aspirations, we build critical thinking and resilience skills so that they are prepared to succeed in school and beyond.

The Manifestation of Our Work

As a result of the intervention and prevention measures being implemented by our program, All THAT anticipates that in 2019 more than 500 at-risk youth will participate in the program by year-end with movement in the following areas:

Goal: 80% of teens attending after-school programming will improve their grades by one or more grade levels.

Goal: 50 or more students participate in paid workforce development training opportunities and will increase their ability to attain and retain employment at a living wage threshold.
