The Durham Business and Professional Chain’s Rites of Passage Mentoring Program helps African-American young men learn to take responsibility, develop positive life skills, and lead more successful lives.

Durham CARES Mentoring Movement seeks to secure, heal, and transform the lives of Black children by inspiring, recruiting, and mobilizing masses of caring Black men and women to mentor and nourish them. Our group mentoring programs focus on the emotional, social, and academic development of our children and the wellness of the adults who parent, mentor, and educate them.

Our mission is to increase access to business education, mentorship, and professional networking opportunities for young, Black men between 16 and 24 years old in Durham.

Leadership LINKS exists to educate and equip servant leaders committed to using their skills and resources for the greater good of humanity. Serving students between 6th and 12th grade, the Leadership LINKS Mentoring Program for Girls is a 9-month program putting our Youth LINKS Leaders on the leadership pathway to becoming the next generation of innovators, entrepreneurs, and executive leaders.

Project Point Five Inc. operates four core initiatives with various programs to address four target populations: at-risk youth, returning citizens, vulnerable veterans recently separated from active duty service, and community volunteers passionate about social, racial, and economic justice. These initiatives focus predominantly on marginalized men due to a lack of comparable resources currently prioritized for women and children.

The S.U.C.C.E.E.D Afterschool Program was designed in 2014 by educators and community leaders with experience teaching and tutoring youth in the community being served. With backgrounds in the fields of education, communication, science, and mental health, SUCCEED program leadership and key staff bring diverse perspectives for addressing student needs. An African proverb states, “Work the clay while it is still wet.” As a founding principle, the S.U.C.C.E.E.D afterschool program and Alluvium, Inc. promote the reshaping of young lives (working the wet clay) by going against harsh social elements.
