Mentoring programs
Stanley Moore Mentoring Program
The Stanley Moore Mentoring Program was crested in partnership with Davenport School and Rock Island School systems in providing professionals from the community in all professional fields, sharing their road to success and collective life experiences about that field of endeavors. We provide in many cases one to one tutoring when required. We work with 7, 8, 9th graders helping them build portfolios that with help later in life as they head on to college. We want them to know that their life circumstances shouldn’t define their destinies’. We want them to see with credibility our communities are making deposits towards their future. When Opportunities Meet Opportunities Success Is Imminent.
