My son, Davion, is in his fourth year as a mentee with Mentoring Brother 2 Brother (MB2B). MB2B is a Dallas, Texas area 501(c)(3) faith-based nonprofit organization, founded in 1998 with the primary objective to provide group mentoring to at-risk African American male youth from single female headed households within southern Dallas County, southeastern Tarrant County, and surrounding communities.

Over this years, Davion has gained new, long-lasting friendships, experienced new adventures, traveled places he's never been, and learned vital nuggets of wisdom in becoming a productive African American male adult. This mentoring program has had such a positive impact on Davion to where he is now more outspoken, accepting accountability for his actions, and focusing on his future.

"What I've mainly learned from MB2B is to be honest and not to give up on your dreams. I can do anything I put my mind to and to stay in school to get my education." - Davion

MB2B programs are designed as a three-way partnership between the mentee, parent and MB2B in providing a support system that enables the mentee to successfully navigate the challenges of being an African American male youth. MB2B programs empower at-risk African American male youth between the crucial ages of 10 to 18 with core programs focused on leadership development, academic excellence, spiritual growth, community service, career exploration and life skills.

I truly believe that it takes a village to raise children and I am so glad MB2B is a part of my village!
