Please spread the word and help us to recruit additional mentors by sharing this opportunity with your friends or networks. Help us to retain others to be a part of a team of successful African-American males providing critical mentoring and coaching support to encourage and motivate young men towards success.
What It Takes (WIT) is a national outreach initiative that connects highly successful minority entrepreneurs, scientists, professional athletes, businessmen, military and medical professionals etc. with hundreds of African-American males at risk of dropping out of high school. The mission of the program is to engage and motivate students towards success in their academic and professional endeavors. WIT is building upon these connections by establishing an e-mentoring component to the program. E-mentoring is a caring, structured relationship focused on the needs of the mentored participants that uses technology to connect people across time and/or distance. It provides greater flexibility for the mentee and mentors, enabling even those with constrained schedules to give back in a very big way.
