SHIELD Mentor Program

Antonio and Precious McKoy believe that a community of people who genuinely cares about our youth will impact society in a great way.  They have dedicated their lives to the concerns of youth, specifically pre-teens and teenagers in middle and high school, whom they feel are commonly overlooked.  They value  youths' leadership capabilities and desire to groom them for success as future leaders of the world.  A saying they commonly use is that, "youth don't wait to get older, nor do they wait to make the decisions that will impact their life into adulthood."  Their approach is to impact youth one decision at a time, to shape youths' character and to guide them towards positive behaviors.
