Overview of Issue
In a society where media plays an influential role amongst youth, it can often guide them down a negative pathway. This includes social media, television, radio, and the tabloids. All these outlets typically produce unrealistic expectations of reality.

Our ultimate goal is to lead the youth down a brighter path. By taking on the role of a positive influence, we, as the mentors, can make a difference within our society by changing the way adolescents perceive the world.

Our Research
Based on our research, mentoring is the most important influence regarding youth development. Most kid's first influence on life and their identity
come from their environment and their parents. However, society does not have enough positive examples nor is it effectively demonstrating the idea of a positive influence to children in our communities. When kids do not receive positive influence from their parents, mentors can help fill in that void. Becoming a positive influence for young adults and children can help change the face of our future generations.
