Mind Changers

2018 SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

A New Year Message from Rodney Pelt, Sr.

The beginning of the year is a time for celebration and reflection. At Mind Changers, we have once again been blessed with one of the greatest gifts – the opportunity to serve youth throughout Tuscaloosa County through various in-school and after-school programs.
As I mentioned at our Fourth Annual Ties & Peals Gala, Mind Changers has experienced a 43 percent increase in the number of students we serve through our various programs. This past fall, our program coordinators and mentors were busy continuing to help students on their path to success. And most recently, we learned every Central Elementary School Mind Changers student who participates in our after-school enrichment program made A-B honor roll for the second nine weeks of the 2016-17 school year. We are making an impact!
We applaud the monumental achievements made by Mind Changers students in 2016 – all of which...continue

Why We Do What We Do

There is a need to reach out to our community to mentor young boys and girls because of the absence of positive role models in the community. We feel that it is very important that participants are exposed to new experiences, develop good social skills, and challenge themselves to strive towards academic achievement. We will help the students to bridge the gap between the classroom and the real world of work. Most importantly, we are here to give students guidance and assist them in developing a positive plan for a successful future.

Mission

Our mission is to motivate, empower, and encourage young men and women through mentoring and various other resources. We will challenge them to be positive decision makers and ultimately help facilitate the process that will shape them into successful
and responsible young adults.

Mind Changers Incorporated provides  educational and mentoring programs to young men and women throughout the Tuscaloosa, Alabama community. More specifically, the organization motivates young people to use their thoughts for self-empowerment, to enable them to learn that their thoughts can be used to improve their lives in powerful and remarkable ways. By doing so, Mind Changers helps youth understand that they have the personal strength to make positive changes in their lives, and improve the quality of life for themselves and those in their community.
