College campus mentoring program for male students with untapped potential, designed to prevent delinquency and academic failure. Focus is to provide students with a positive environment in which they can learn skills that will assist in their future development and success. At the middle school level, to help assist with future development, Sports Mentorship Academy partners with local colleges and recruited collegiate athletes to lead activities for the success of participants. The activities are sports, study hall, service learning, sports tour and social issues. These events provide leadership opportunities outside of sports and raising each participant's self-esteem. Students also learn decision-making skills and practice personal discipline. At the high school level, Sports Mentorship Academy improves students' lives by nurturing their minds, bodies and spirits through a life skills program that incorporates sports with other activities for the success of participants.
