Power of Choice Mentoring Group is here to support high school teens like you, who are trying to maneuver through some of the most challenging times of your lives. We understand that the journey to adulthood is full of decisions—some easier than others—and that these years will bring many of your most formative experiences. Between academics, friendships, extracurricular activities, preparing for the future, and just trying to figure yourself out, you’ve got a lot going on. And in our city, life can sometimes throw extra obstacles your way.
That’s where we come in. Our mission is to help teens build confidence, character, and leadership skills. Whether you’re working on improving your relationships, handling conflict, setting personal goals, or growing into a stronger version of yourself, we’ve got your back.
What We Offer
Our program dives into practical life skills that will stay with you for the long haul. Here’s what you can expect:
Youth Development Workshops: We cover everything from leadership to goal setting, so you’ll have all the tools you need to succeed in school and beyond—out in the “real” world.
Character Building: We help you develop important traits like responsibility, accountability, and respect for others—qualities that will determine how—and how well—you move through the world.
Peer Relations & Conflict Resolution: Friendships and dealing with conflict can be tricky. We’ll teach you how to build stronger, healthier connections with the people around you.
Academic Enrichment: Need a hand with schoolwork? We’re here to help you get on top of your studies, improve your grades, and stay on track for graduation.
College and Career Readiness: Whether you’re planning for college, considering a trade school, or getting ready to enter the workforce, we’ll help you figure out your own unique path forward and make sure you have the skills to get there.
We Know Life Gets Tough
For many teens in Detroit, life outside of school brings its own set of challenges. That’s why we offer bi-weekly individual and group counseling sessions, giving you a safe place to talk and work through the tough stuff. We also understand the reality of grief, loss, and trauma, so we offer monthly support sessions where you can process those feelings in a supportive environment.
How We Make a Difference
Our greatest desire is to help you grow, not only as a student, but as a person. We’re committed to building character, teaching you how to work through hard situations, and encouraging accountability.
Life is filled with choices, and we believe every young person has the power to make decisions that shape their future in positive ways.
Whether you’re looking for guidance, support, or help figuring out your next steps, we’re here for you.
