Mentoring Programs
Mentoring Male Teens in the Hood is a group mentoring program serving kings between the ages of 8 and 18 who live in the Baltimore Metropolitan area since 1996. Meetings take place the first and third Saturday of each month from 9-2pm. The first Saturday we do tutoring in Math, English, Reading, and Writing. The third Saturday of each month we bring in role models from all walks of life and occupation to help the kings begin thinking about what they want to do with their lives. The program also takes cultural enrichment field trips in and out of state to include a yearly camping trip. The program has “real life” conversations about topics that impact our community. For more information, please contact Cameron Miles at 410-852-8013 or email him at cmilesmmth@gmail.com. Yearly dues are $120 dollars which can be paid in installments.
