Primary Service
MW2 is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation providing mentoring services for at risk youth in the local community.  The program will form partnerships with local school districts and the community at large. We pay special attention when matching youth with mentors. Mentors are trained to focus on positive reinforcement, team-building, and the success of achieved goals, by engaging youth in one-on-one outings and group adventures in the community. Mentors will work with the parents and the school to establish set time frames in order to meet accomplished tasks and activities.  Mentees agree to meet with tutors and volunteers after school for 60 hours per month for one year. Required training will continue with mentors as required throughout the year.  In addition, MW2 will have monthly mentor support meetings.


Focus Areas
The focus areas of MW2 are to address the issues that face youth today and provide one-on-one mentoring that will incorporate 1) substance abuse programs that would encourage youth to resist substance and abuse; 2) HIV awareness that would eliminate misconceptions and misinformation that put young men and women at risk; 3) teen pregnancy programs that would promote abstinence, safe sex, and discipline; 4) support groups to deal with tolerance, gay and lesbian issues; 5) strengthen family parenting that would promote healing and reunification and 6) crime intervention.
