Purpose of 101 Prep.

---

​The sole purpose of [101] Prep is to become a social response to the growing number of young, creative people who are either falling through the cracks at school, dropping out, or already entangled with drugs and alcohol, simply due to their (right-brain) way of thinking which is often misunderstood. [101] Prep offers inspiring youth guidance to make necessary adjustments and better choices. We hope to affect a more positive outcome in their lives in regards to behavior, education, business, and career. Simple, positive adjustments and choices will not only affect the program mentee, but also, inevitably, affect the lives of other youth in their community.

​The program intends to encourage youth participants to "pay it forward" and encourage the next youth to aspire higher.

We encourage our youth to channel their energy towards  entrepreneurial career paths such as; fashion, beauty, photography, graphic design, social media management, gaming, real estate, construction, etc.
