Our
Programs
We have split YLM up into three unique programs that serve different purposes. Explore the different programs that YLM has to offer.
MAPS - Metro Athletes Pursuing Success
The MAPS program is a branch inside of YLM built to promote unity between athletes in the Metro Jackson area. This program will provide mentorship to high school athletes from college athletes. It is also an opportunity to train with one another and build meaningful relationships. In YLM, we believe that greatness is not built solely on the court or field, but it's built in character, classrooms, and communities.
STRONG - Supporting Thriving Resilient Opportunities for Next-Gen Growth
The STRONG program is a branch in YLM committed to leading the next generation of young men in a positive direction by connecting them to mentors, leadership development, and service opportunities that promote resilience, integrity, and personal growth. At STRONG, we believe young men are more than their circumstances. They are future leaders, changemakers, and role models in the making. Men thrive when they are seen, supported, and given space to lead lives of meaning and impact.
POWER - Preparing Outstanding Women for Excellence and Resilience
The POWER program is a branch inside of YLM that was formed to uplift, educate, and empower young women by preparing them for lifelong success through mentorship, service, leadership, and a strong foundation of sisterhood.We believe that women deserve to be supported, seen, and celebrated, because when women rise, so does the world around them.
