Success Stories

I am thrilled to share my experience with this incredible woman-owned non-profit youth mentorship program. My children participated in one of Ms. Henry’s workshops held at the local library. During the sessions, Ms. Henry was very engaging, and I was happy with the information she imparted to them and how she kept their interest in the various subjects. They came home excited! They were eager to share what they heard and did at the workshop. I can tell that attending that workshop made a difference in their young lives because of the positive changes in their attitudes. Ms. Henry has made follow-up calls from time to time to make sure they are on the right path to excel. The dedication and passion exhibited by Ms. Henry and her team have empowered countless young individuals, fostering personal growth and confidence. Their commitment to creating a supportive environment for mentorship truly makes a lasting impact on the lives of youths. I wholeheartedly endorse this program for its positive influence and unwavering dedication to nurturing our youth. If you get the opportunity to have your children attend one of these workshops, please do not hesitate as not only will they enjoy the sessions, but the experience will also undoubtedly enrich their lives!
