Our Mission

​

Increasing academics in student athletes.

 

​

Academics & Athletics

​

Mindful Mentors Planting Seeds operates within Baltimore City year round and provides opportunities for over 150 student-athletes each year.  Our philosophy is that academics come first.  We reduce the barriers that prevent student-athletes from meeting academic success.   We created a remedy to alleviate this problem and students are taught how to balance academics and athletics.   Students who are in the program are provided with a mentor to help support them and provide them with structure.  Student-athletes participate in physical team building games, skills training, and individualized/ tailored athletic instruction (beginner, intermediate, & advanced). 

 

Student-athletes who choose to compete on our athletic teams are trained and prepared to play next level athletics.  We meet the student-athletes where they are and make sure that they are having fun while learning how to properly play sports such as volleyball/basketball.  Our athletes are playing at various high schools in Baltimore City and even playing on the college level.  The Mindful Mentees have been recognized for completing back to back undefeated seasons in both volleyball and basketball!
