Mentors in Motion (MIM) was founded in 2009 in conjunction with other child and youth serving organizations to coordinate and facilitate programming to meet the needs of at risk youth aged from 11 -17 years in the St Louis Metropolitan area. Specifically, MIM reaches and positively guides St. Louis City youth that have potentially run out of choices towards a positive future, youth that are on the cusp of making negative life changing decisions, and the youth that have not been afforded opportunities to fulfill a destiny that does not involve the criminal justice system. Using tools such as music, technology, career development, healthcare assessments & education, and current curricular assistance; MIM youth participants are not only equipped with life skills that assure their avoidance in the criminal justice system but tools that ensure a brighter future full of positive decisions.
