Midwest Sports Academy Mobile Mentoring Program Midwest Sports Academy would like to introduce you to the latest innovative program offered to public and private schools in the Chicago land area. This program is unique to the area as it offers a different approach to the mentoring process for our youth (helping kids heal beginning with the root of the issue) and the program comes to you, in your school or location of your choice. This program is available to children ages 9-16 who would like to begin the process of discovering who they are what gifts/talents they carry and the discovery process of what may be blocking them from potential for growth and success, academically, socially and emotionally. MSA will work and partner with educators and families to help build a successful and strong foundation for the future of each child they serve. MSA provides a mentoring program for youth ages 9-16 whom may be experiencing difficulties or issues in their lives. This program is offered to anyone in this age range that would like to accept the invitation to learn how to build a strong foundation for future endeavors. MSA will come to the location of the interested party’s choice. Often this will be at the home school of the youth signed up for the program. MSA will meet with the children at least once a week for the duration of no less than one hour and up to one hour and a half. MSA is flexible with the duration and frequency focusing more on meeting the needs and providing what is best for the youth. This is a year round program.
The program includes the following: •
Relationship Building
•
Mission Trips- To be determined.
•
Coaching
•
Arts/Crafts
• Community Events
• Sports and Games
