Mentoring Positives, Inc.

Our mission is to build strong, trusting relationships, positive attitudes, and life skills in youth through mentoring and social youth entrepreneurship

Mentoring Positives began in the fall of 2004, as strictly a fee-for-service program that Will started by mentoring delinquent youth, one-on-one. Soon, Mentoring Positives’ became a not for profit organization and quickly began offering group mentoring. Will was given the opportunity to utilize the gym space at the Darbo Community Center, inside the Salvation Army. He has remained in the Worthington Park/Darbo Neighborhood for over nine years. Will saw the need for positive programming with many of the youth living in the neighborhood. Will continues to engage the youth and families currently without any Mentoring Positives’ programming as well as with those that are attending programs.
Today, Mentoring Positives, Inc. has three components; (1.) Specialized Mentoring, (2.) Off the Block Enterprises, and (3.) Training/Professional Development. Will and Becky’s commitment and dedication to grass roots programming for youth and families has been their “calling”..
