Stoked Mentoring’s Founder and Executive Director Steve Larosilliere tells the story of his organization on the Huffington Post.
In 5 years, we’ve worked with hundreds of youth in New York and L.A. and taught them valuable life skills in the process. Life skills such as goal-setting, networking, trust, patience, and how to overcome obstacles. What we discovered along the way was the need for at-risk youth to have positive role models and quality life experiences that add value and dimension to their lives. They need to develop their own “Story”. One that isn’t the same as the people in their community. One that is uniquely theirs. Instead of being an inner city high school dropout, they can be a snowboarder from the inner city who wants to work in advertising, has a mentor, and is a high school graduate.
