Executive Summary
E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy is the fresh face of community service! This program was
established to provide a strong support system for disadvantaged/at-risk youth. The
foundation of this programs purpose is written in the name, Empowering Myself By
Respecting And Caring Enough (E.M.B.R.A.C.E). Participants will be exposed to cultural
experiences in diverse aspects of art and expression such as theater, music, and dance.
Hardships and obstacles will also be covered through hard hitting round table discussions,
assigned projects, special guest speakers, and attendance of special events and outings. The
primary focus of the academy is to provide youth with helpful direction and positive
alternatives to their current at risk situations. This will be accomplished by providing a
positive nonjudgmental atmosphere that allows them to succeed, despite what they have
been labeled. This academy style program will be involved in every aspect of their lives to

E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academy vs. The Average Mentoring Program

1.

Academy. E.M.B.R.A.C.E. is a specialized academy style mentoring program whose

purpose is to advocate for and expose at-risk youth to various aspects of knowledge and
culture. The academy will also push students past their bestowed reputations, personal
issues, and boundaries towards success.
2.
Personalization. E.M.B.R.A.C.E. differs because this program sets goals based on the
individual needs of the mentee, rather than a general approach to mentoring (everyone is
measured at the same level by the same standards).
3.
Family Values. E.M.B.R.A.C.E. will also focus on the family structures of its
participants. Resources will be outsourced to each participants family members to meet their
needs.
4.
Tracking. Unlike most mentoring programs, E.M.B.R.A.C.E. academy will track
participants after high school graduation, and into their college/career/goal objectives.
5.
Collaborations. This program will hold participants accountable for their actions by
connecting every dot in our participants lives. Any person that they come in contact with,

E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy will have contact with that person, and vice versa. (Bus drivers,

teachers,

law

enforcement/probation

officers,

immediate

family

members,

counselors/therapist, etc.). This creates the participants community network, which serves
a subliminal village raising a child.
6.
Mentors. A common issue with mentoring programs is training/retention of mentors. It
is more detrimental for a child to lose a mentor, rather than to ever have been matched at all.
Volunteers are not mentally or emotionally prepared for what they encounter during
mentorship. This program dissolves this issue by not placing the pressure of one-to-one
mentoring, rather than creating a family environment that works as a functioning team.
This issue will also be tackled by providing a diverse group of mentors who are specifically
interested in, or currently pursuing, the following type of work:
A. Mentors from similar/rough backgrounds whose lives are thriving despite of their past
circumstances.
B. Students
majoring

in

social

(college/university/trade)
C. Trained and/or certified

risk/disadvantaged youth
Graduation. Participants will graduate the program, not solely based on their

age/grade level, but also by accomplishing their set individual/personal goals.

8.
Retention. Upon graduation of the program, members will be inducted into Team
E.M.B.R.A.C.E. to keep the cycle going. Former participants will match up with new
participants, and potentially become employees of the program.

Its A Family Affair

E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy will include participants family members in various activities
throughout the year. There will also be a family assessment which unveils any issues that
the family may be experiencing internally. Once identified, E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academys
resources will be put in place to assist the families as much as possible, or refer them to the
best possible source (i.e. job placement, substance abuse issues, etc.).

Current Opportunity
There is always a need to address community concerns with our youth and provide additional
assistance. This program seeks to identify students with multiple risk factors and few
protective factors. These young peoples hopelessness, frustration, and anger, due to their
environment, are often channeled into their classrooms and daily conduct. This causes them
to develop reputations as non-performing students and a menace to society. E.M.B.R.A.C.E.
Academy recognizes that some of the top ten issues related to middle and high school
students

include

substance

abuse,

smoking,

alcohol

use,

teen

pregnancy,

youth

violence/bullying, school drop-outs, and STDs. In 2010, Georgia had a 41% dropout rate, the

(http://www.cdc.gov/features/datastatistics.html). These numbers will become increasingly

problematic if additional alternatives are not provided to assist the agencies and
organizations that are already in place. Each mentee will accomplish and obtain levels of
success as they move towards graduating the E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy program. Participants
will explore the world of arts and entertainment, socially interact outside of their comfort
zone, complete group discussions, tasks, and activities on various program objectives (listed
in the Programming section).

Service
The quality of mentoring services that will be provided, are designed to inspire academic
achievement, strengthen continuing education commitment, promote pro-social norms and
behaviors, and provide resources, role models, and opportunities for job training or
attendance to higher institutions of learning. E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy will partner with local
colleges/trade schools to recruit students (mentors) majoring in the areas that directly effect
at-risk youth. The mentors will motivate and encourage the students in their academic
work, attendance at school, and satisfactory conduct.
Service Points:
To encourage youth to seek and reach their fullest potential in all endeavors.
To educate youth on daily issues to elevate their self-purpose and goals.
To provide exposure to activities that intrigues the mind and spirit.
To provide an outlet of understanding free from judgment.

Demographic & Target Market

schools that are zoned within them.

Weed and Seed
a. Weed and Seed programs: A community based strategy sponsored by the U.S.
Department of Justice (DOJ) that aims to prevent, control, and reduce violent
crime, drug abuse, and gang activity in designated high crime neighborhoods
across the nation. It is an innovative, comprehensive, multiagency approach to
law enforcement, crime prevention, and community revitalization. Under this
program, law enforcement officials, prosecutors, and other criminal justice
partners work to weed out crime in targeted communities. After that private
community based organizations and public agencies work to address human
services, prevention, and intervention programs, and neighborhood restoration
efforts to seed the community in a positive fashion. Community policing acts

Programming (Background Checks)

The safety and welfare of our participants is a major priority for E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy. Our
program is a safe haven for at-risk youth, and to ensure their safety each and every
person that comes into contact with a participant and/or their family member must
complete and successfully pass a background check. Having a minor criminal past will not
necessarily exclude a person from participating with E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy (i.e. reformed
convicts), but each scenario will be handled on a case-by-case basis. Any mentor/participant
with a criminal past must agree to full disclosure as it pertains to the charges.

Programming (Confidentiality Agreements)

Rationale
Confidentiality is the preservation of privileged information. By necessity personal and
private information is disclosed in a professional working relationship. Part of what you learn
is necessary to provide services to the participants and their families; other information is
shared within the development of a helping, trusting relationship. Therefore, most
information gained about individual participants and their families through an assignment is
confidential in terms of the law, and disclosure could make you legally liable. Disclosure
could also damage your relationship with participants and their families and make it difficult
to help them.
Before you begin your assignment as a staff member/volunteer, you should be aware of the
laws and penalties for breaching confidentiality. Although the agency is not liable for your
acts within the scope of your duty, giving information to an unauthorized person could result
in the agency's refusal to support you in the event of legal action. Violation of the state
statutes regarding confidentiality of records is punishable upon conviction by fines or by
imprisonment or by both.
Confidentiality Policy for Employees, Volunteers and Board Members
Respecting the privacy of our clients, donors, members/participants, staff, volunteers and of
the E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy itself is a basic value of E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy. Personal,

Any redistribution or reproduction of part or all of the contents in any form is prohibited. You may not, except with
our expressed written permission, distribute, cut, copy, past, or commercially exploit the content. Nor may you
transmit it or store it in any other website, or other form of electronic retrieval system. This document and its
content belongs to E.M.B.R.A.C.E. and its founder.

Page 3

medical, and financial information is confidential and should not be disclosed or discussed

with anyone without permission or authorization from the executive director. Care shall also
be taken to ensure that unauthorized individuals do not overhear any discussion of
confidential information and that documents containing confidential information are not left
in the open or inadvertently shared.
E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy expects you to respect the privacy of all parties involved, and to
maintain their personal and financial information as confidential. All records dealing with
specific clients must be treated as confidential. General information, policy statements or
statistical material that is not identified as classified is still to be upheld as confidential
information. Staff members are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of information
relating to other staff members and volunteers, in addition to participants.
Employees, volunteers and board members of E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy may be exposed to
information which is confidential and/or privileged and proprietary in nature. It is the policy of
E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy that such information must be kept confidential both during and
after employment or volunteer service. Staff and volunteers, including board members, are
expected to return materials containing privileged or confidential information at the time of
separation from employment or expiration of service.
Unauthorized disclosure of confidential or privileged information is a serious violation of this
policy and will subject the person(s) who made the unauthorized disclosure to appropriate
discipline, including removal/dismissal/legal action. Failure to maintain confidentiality may
result in termination of your employment, or other corrective action. This policy is intended
to protect you as well as E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academy because in extreme cases, violations of this
policy also may result in personal liability.

Certification
I have read E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academys policy on confidentiality and the Statement of
Confidentiality presented above. I agree to abide by the requirements of the policy and
inform my supervisor immediately if I believe any violation (unintentional or otherwise) of the
policy has occurred. I understand that violation of this policy will lead to disciplinary action,
up to and including termination of my service with E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy.

Nonprofit Structure Alternatives

A 501(c) organization, also known colloquially as either a 501(c) or a "nonprofit", is an
American tax-exempt nonprofit organization. Section 501(c) of the United States Internal
Revenue Code (26 U.S.C. 501(c)) provides that 28 types of nonprofit organizations are
exempt from some federal income taxes. Sections 503 through 505 set out the requirements
for attaining such exemptions. Many states refer to Section 501(c) for definitions of
organizations exempt from state taxation as well. 501(c) (3) Religious, Educational,
Charitable, Scientific, Literary, Testing for Public Safety, to Foster National or International
Amateur Sports Competition, or Prevention of Cruelty to Children or Animals Organizations.
While E. A. will be categorized as a community based program, components of the other two
options (faith & school based) will be incorporated into the program. The school system will
be a major part of E.A.s success. When it comes to identifying students in need of the
program, the school systems will be instrumental in indicating the issues that their students
are currently facing. E. A. will also have lunch visits with mentees, and be heavily involved
with grades, attendance, and conduct. E.A. will also have a ministerial leader to provide

Christian leadership and guidance to all of its participants.

Community Based
Small neighborhood non-profit organizations are located in the same zip code as the
people they serve. They have a firsthand knowledge of the problems they live with, and a
personal stake in the success of their solutions. Small community-based organizations not
only serve low-income communities -- they are indigenous to them. Programs are open to all
applicants in the neighborhood. Help is offered on the basis of the need a person has and his
or her desire to change. Their approach is flexible. Effective grassroots programs contain an
essential element of reciprocity. Clear behavioral guidelines and discipline play an important
part in their programs. Grassroots organizations provide not only authority and structure, but
also the love that is necessary for an individual to undergo healing, growth, and
development. An environment of care and mutual support is offered within a community of
individuals who are trying to accomplish the same changes in their lives. In most cases,
these groups pre-dated formal funding opportunities. They are typically available twentyfour hours a day.
Faith Based
The 2003 AmeriCorps Guidance provides the following definition for faith-based
organizations: A religious congregation (church, mosque, synagogue, or temple). An
organization, program, or project sponsored/hosted by a religious congregation (may be
incorporated or not incorporated). A nonprofit organization founded by a religious
congregation or religiously-motivated incorporators and board members that clearly states in
its name, incorporation, or mission statement that it is a religiously motivated institution. A
collaboration of organizations that clearly and explicitly includes organizations from the
previously described categories.
School Based
Programs may receive educational grants to pursue extra activities with their students
and/or to further their own studies and interests. Schools may receive educational grants to
implement special programs to assist the advancement of their students.

Status of Business
Start-up: A seed budget will consist of the projected amount needed to successfully launch
this endeavor. Funds will continue to be raised in order to meet the charter program goal
($120,000-$200,000). Upon obtaining the necessary funds, the program will launch a charter

program in the area which possesses the need and resources to succeed.

Expansion:

This program is structured to be a packaged program that can easily be

recreated in another area with various age groups. It is with great hope that E.M.B.R.A.C.E.
Academy will flourish over into areas all over the nation, and one day internationally.
Collaborations: E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy will be established, survive, and thrive off of grant
funding, community collaborations, and support. Resources will be pooled to assist nonprofits
who currently service at-risk youth. E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy will also reach out to schools,
businesses, cultural establishments, colleges and universities, local businesses, sports
teams, celebrities, and philanthropists for participation and support.

Marketing Strategy

I. Quality
a. This program will attack every aspect in the lives of the involved youth with a hands
on approach. Each mentees progress will be monitored closely by bringing the
people who are involved in that mentees life together (family, teachers, counselors,
probation officers, etc.). The mentees will be required to achieve, strategically
mapped out levels of the process before he/she can graduate from the E.M.B.R.A.C.E.
Academy. E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy will continue to monitor those who have
successfully graduated from the program according to the goals set for each
individual. By accepting students and following them through their educational
process from 6th grade to 12th grade, we can ensure a high school graduation rate of
100%. Our mentees will be groomed to be well-rounded citizens with plans to excel
after high school graduation.
II. Service
a. E.M.B.R.A.C.E. Academy is a program that gives all accepted participants entry free of
charge. Their payment is accepted via their success in the program. The services
provided will socially enhance, academically improve, and culturally expose middle
and high school youth to elements of life they may not normally be privy too.

when

they

need

assistance/guidance.
Each E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academy project would be beneficial and informative, while having the
participants best interest in mind.
People from all genres, backgrounds, and professions will be able to provide a bridge
between the people who can, and those who cannot. Where these youth experience
turmoil and adult burdens and responsibilities, through E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academy, they will
receive love and guidance in a non-judgmental setting.
Middle and high schools do not have the assistance they need, when it comes to focusing
on the subjects their books do not cover.
Objectives:
Motivational Objectives
o To boost the morale of young men and women across the nation.
o Create awareness and advancement by using E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academy as a resource.
o To decrease the large number of violent crimes, teenage pregnancy, drug abuse, and
o

drop-out rates in our youth.

Allowing youth to experience various activities while providing a setting for them to

be creatively expressive.
Informational Objectives
o To inform young men women and provide insight on issues they face in life.
o To assist the youth with living skills, survival skills, career explorations, and
upholding their responsibilities while becoming an asset to themselves, society, and
o

their families.
To assist with projects which they will produce to improve some aspect of their
personal life, school, and/or community.

Audience:
E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academys general audience consists of young men and women across
the nations who are not as advantaged as others, and have been labeled as at-risk. For
the young mothers, the depressed brother/sister, the lost girl/boy, the confused young
man/woman, the un-loved teen, the raped and abused, the misguided, gang members,
and the ones who are slightly struggling and they just need support.
Strategy:
E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academy should first target the areas that are high-risk and have extreme
drop-out, crime, and pregnancy rates. E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academy can also assist currently
established organizations that function in that community and school systems. Surveys

will be submitted to potential participants at various high schools asking questions

concerning their life, issues they face, and how receptive they would be to a program that
provides different objectives and opportunities for them to experience.
A retreat of some sort should take place to develop planning for the E.M.B.R.A.C.E
Academy year. During this time the objectives and goals should be clearly defined, and a
calendar should be compiled of E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academys plans for the year. Activities and
conference style sessions should also be held at this time to motivate the mentors and
instruct the mentors on how to motivate. This would bring about unity among the staff
while also educating on the proper manner at which to handle these fragile lives.
Tactics:
Submit surveys to high schools to receive feed-back for analysis.
Call for assistance from all areas.(Government, military, colleges, corporations)
Provide a public relations/media packet that supports the purpose and goals of
E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academy
Begin a large campaign to charge those who are interested in making a difference.
(Celebrities, politicians, business owners, companys, professional leagues)
Calendars:
Include goals, objectives, deadlines, and events
Must be updated regularly due to the addition of activities/events
Budget:
Assisted by fundraising and philanthropy
The majority of money is raised and possibly matched by sponsorship, grants, and
donations
Evaluation:
Assess the progress from start to finish (includes assessments of individual participants)
Provide an evaluation form at the closing of the program (students, mentors, staff,
administrators)

Founder
Lydia R. Mitchell, founder of E.M.B.R.A.C.E Academy, grew up
in a small town Opelika, Alabama. Coming from a Christianbased family, that reared her in community service, she has always valued the power of
giving. Lydia has extensive public relations and administrative support experience, at the
executive level, and excels at coordinating major events and nonprofit program management.
In her most recent position, as Alumni Relations Coordinator for Atlanta Metropolitan State
College, she served as the sole employee in the department. Labeled as being an avid selfstarter and resourceful, Mitchells reputation as a competent team member, who always
gets the job done, comes from her ability to work cross functionally and multitask various
responsibilities such as:
Data Entry
Direct services
Mentoring
Recruiting and training
Fundraising
Organizing company meetings & offsite events
Distribution of press releases
Drafting & distributing vital correspondence
Spearheading numerous major events
Television & radio broadcast appearances
Simultaneous coordinating (events/orgs.)
Preparation of newsletters and data reports
Lydia has accumulated countless hours of community service for over 15 years, and

collectively worked in the public relations and nonprofit sector for 11 years and counting. Her
professional career began at the River Region United Way (Montgomery, AL), where she
worked for an at-risk youth mentoring program (WE MENTOR) for 3 years. During her time
there, she spearheaded coordination of the 4 th and 5th grade programs, and directly serviced
at-risk and disadvantaged youth for federally funded grants awarded by The Department of
Education and The Department of Justice. Lydia was able to see the first-hand impact of
hundreds of successful matches during her term there. Mitchell has also collaborated with the
annual Martin Luther King Dream Day Foundation (Opelika, AL), to teach choreography and

encourage students to learn black history through performing arts. Lydia is ecstatic about the

opportunity to contribute her skills and talents to connect the community dots, and structure
a program that has the potential to reach thousands!
I have finally learned that when you serve your God-given purpose here on earth; work will
never be just a job. Giving is the most gratifying feeling. - Lydia Mitchell
