Welcome to M.A.
M.A. commits to setting the young generation up for future success through their ability to experience connections and understand their natural strengths, behavioral style, and motivation. We engage through mentorship programs, enrichment programs, and coaching in schools, specifically in Illinois. Join us as we impact the future generation.
About Us
American young generation is starving for attention from adults who believe in them and care. They are looking out for guidance and a safe space to express themselves. As M.A. we believe every young person is ONE caring adult away from being a success story. They are the jewel of the community, ready to bloom and impact the community positively.
As they grow, they desire meaningful connections and effectively manage their lives. They deal with life’s issues and struggle to build self-reliance and responsibility. As M.A. we believe in creating a future by mentoring and coaching the young generation of men and women between the ages of 7 to 17 years. We use practical coaching and mentoring tools that allow them to identify what is important to them and align their thoughts, words, and actions to realize their full potential.
Our creative and transformative programs assist and tap into existing strengths and talents and help them develop life skills and strategies that ensure that they become more focused, energized, motivated and clear on their future direction. Our one-on-one coaching and structured, goal-oriented methods are tailored to suit the needs and experiences of today’s young adults and teens and equip them with the necessary skills required in a competitive and demanding world.
Mission:
To nurture and transform the young generation hence building a responsible society imparted by values, life skills, integrity, and confidence needed to maximize their success through evidence-based coaching and mentorship.
Vision:
