The Enlightened Mentor Project is focused on helping at-risk teens and young adults have the best opportunities to lead healthy and productive lives and maximize their full potential. Our programs and services are instructional in nature and designed to promote learning, understanding, maturation and long-term interpersonal growth.
MENTORING PROGRAMS
Through our Youth & Young Adult mentorship program, we provide 1-on-1 and group mentoring designed to provide our Champions with the guidance, direction, wisdom, knowledge, and skills they need to create successful, extraordinary, and impactful adulthoods.
R.I.S.E PROGRAM
R.I.S.E. (Resilience, Identity, Self-Mastery, Execution) is TEM’s signature manhood development mentorship program for TEM Champions and young men ages 12–23. RISE equips adolescents and young adults with the mindsets, habits, emotional intelligence, and discipline required to dream big, plan effectively, execute consistently, reflect deeply, adapt wisely, and rise into strong, responsible manhood.
TUTORING & COLLEGE PREPARATION
We provide our Champions with access to academic tutoring services for our Champions aimed at improving their overall academic capability and performance. Additionally, we provide access to college preparation services—including SAT/ACT prep and college tours—designed to help our Champions select, enroll, and attend the best possible colleges and universities.
LIFE SKILLS DEVELOPMENT WORKSHOPS
We provide our Champions with a unique combination of life skills training and athletic storytelling designed to help them find their purpose, improve access to opportunity and education, and instill the confidence they need to achieve greatness. Our life skills workshops are typically delivered cohort-style and intended to promote brotherhood among our Champions.
MENTAL WELLNESS PROGRAM
Our Mental Wellness Program ensures that every TEM Champion has access to a safe, supportive space where they can talk openly, reflect, and grow. Through trusted mentorship and guided discussions, we help young men process their experiences, build emotional intelligence, and strengthen their mental well-being. By addressing mental health directly, we empower our Champions to show up stronger for themselves, their families, and their future.
TEM WEALTH BUILDERS
TEM Wealth Builders equips our Champions with the knowledge and mindset to build financial stability and long-term wealth. Launching on Juneteenth, the program connects financial literacy to economic empowerment through hands-on workshops in banking, credit, investing, and income generation. Grounded in our mission of developing responsible young men, we teach our Champions how to make money work for them as a tool for long-term opportunity and freedom.
At TEM, we believe young men RISE when they are supported, challenged, and believed in. Through life-changing mentorship and structured programming, we use the language of sports–discipline, preparation, teamwork, and execution–to teach the fundamentals of life.
Our Champions don’t just learn what it takes to succeed–they experience it, building the confidence and character needed to pursue their goals and become strong, responsible men.
