“More than ever, this is the time we need to pray and be there for our children. As adults, lets invest in our future”
LeMaris Alston 2008
Established in 2008, our non-profit organization was formed to provide a unique and positive after school mentoring program for youth 7-18. Bounce Back was designed to educated children on what it means to be a leader and to build a lifelong respect within the community. We offer a dynamic and constantly-evolving seasonal mentorship program that teaches our youth how to cope with life’s ever-changing plan. Incorporated within Bounce Back are recreational and life skilled programs that focus on empowering our youth. These programs consist of:
- Jazz It Up “Glamourous For A Day” (for young women directed by Jamelah Alston),
- Business Etiquette Seminar (for young men and women)
- Good Table Manners (for young men and women)
- Mobile Legacy (an athletic program directed by Eva Stallworth)
- Trust In Me (a program designed to build trust and friendship).
- Fishing With The Fellas (This is a M2M (Male to Male) event. This event allows young males and adult males the opportunity to learn from one another. Its an opportunity to teach our youth the importance of manhood, brotherhood, and FELLAship)
These activities are taught numerous times within the program by our mentors, teachers, coaches, counselors, and staff who volunteer their time and efforts.
The mission of Bounce Back Youth Leadership is to provide students the opportunity to become influential young adults by being an effective, empowering leadership nonprofit organization that focuses on uplifting the youth as they make their transitions from childhoodto adulthood.
This program focuses on the troubles that children go through and how they are able to rise above any problems they may endure in life. By counseling, mentoring, and using Christian principles, Bounce Back will strive to nurture the youth; to keep them on the straight and narrow and to teach them how to make wise decisions in their future endeavors.
