BINGO shows our Mentees the way to achieve educational and career success. From tours of HBCU campuses to assistance with college and financial aid applications. For those seeking job opportunities, we have partnered with the skilled trades to provide Mentees with the necessary workforce training to begin their careers.
Black youth in urban cities are less likely than whites to venture outside of their neighborhoods. Our Mentees are able to broaden their horizons by visiting new places, learning new things, and discovering new experiences.
BINGO’s one-on-one mentoring sessions create caring and meaningful relationships between mentee and mentor. They meet weekly to talk about problems, concerns, achievements, mutual interests, or just life in general. This individual attention can make a huge difference in a young boy’s confidence, self-awareness, willingness to communicate, and personal growth.
Our Mental Health Wellness component helps our Mentees cope with life’s challenges by strengthening their social, emotional and psychological well-being. BINGO gives Mentees encouragement and hope by promoting healthy relationships with family and friends, conflict resolution, and emotional stability.
