Mentoring All Americans for Leadership

Category: Leadership Training Programs

Mentoring All Americans for Leadership is sponsored by the YMCA to provide a leadership program with three components: teaching life skills, career enhancement, and peer coaching and mentoring. MAAFL partners with the YMCA Achieving College Access Program to bring the Career Development Leadership Program to students in grades 6-12. The program motivates students for postsecondary education through career clusters; tutoring; mentoring; college tours; community projects; and leadership activities. MAAFL also partners with St. Mary's Food Bank Community Kitchen to provide food service and life-skill training to low-income adults. "Cultivating the Leader Within" is provided regularly to reach every adult who graduates from the St. Mary's Food Bank Community Kitchen training program.
