The Enlightened Mentor Project (TEM) delivers life-changing mentorship to at-risk African American teenage boys and young men whom we refer to as CHAMPIONS! We empower our Champions to pursue educational achievement, develop critical life skills, and create meaningful career pathways. Ultimately, our mission is to help our Champions successfully matriculate into strong and responsible manhood by giving them the mentorship needed to navigate thru life's obstacles and guide them to create extraordinary life outcomes for themselves, their families, and the communities in which they live.

Each year, TEM helps at-risk youth and young adults improve their academic performance, gain entry into college, and develop life skills that lead to emotional well-being, self-sufficiency, and responsible manhood.

Every year, TEM serves more than 60 Champions full-time from 12-23 years of age who receive the guidance and tools needed to succeed in every aspect of their lives. Every Champion is paired with one of our 25 experienced mentors, who represent a range of personal and professional backgrounds as leaders in their local communities.

“I love the program because it stepped into the gaps... it served [my son] well to turn him into the leader that he’s becoming, and always was inside.” - TEM Parent

"I want to take care of my Champions and make sure that they're the graduates that are accepting these awards and so on. I want to get them all the way to that level and beyond! ... I love just being a part of this program, and I just want to continue to grow from here" - TEM Mentor

As a result of our mentorship, more than 90% of our eligible Champions have enrolled in college since 2019. This is a tremendous achievement compared to the overall college matriculation rate in California for African American males, which is just 60%.
