Empowering Mentorships is a 501c3 non profit founded in 2020 by Jelani Matthews originally designed to provide minority male students with access to positive male role models and resources on a consistent basis. In working with various organizations with the focus on mentoring minority males, Matthews found opportunity and identified the need for education and resources for the underserved communities as a whole.

Through the unprecedented times of 2020, Empowering Mentorships has evolved into a virtual platform providing training and education on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, corporate navigation and more with the goal of developing personal and professional skills required to progress in life.

Harriet Tubman Village Charter School is excited to begin a new partnership with Empowering Mentorships. If you would like your student to participate in an event hosted by Empowering Mentorships or have any additional questions, please email Ms. Bush at abush@tubmancharter.org
