We work with Youngstown Community School and Youngstown City School District to provide weekly mentoring sessions, social outings, and visits to area businesses. We believe children will function based on what they have been shown, taught, and have experienced. <\/p>\n<p>The Kool Boiz Foundation\u2019s Promising Men Mentoring Program is designed to change the mindsets and behaviors of the young men we serve and help them achieve success in all aspects of their lives.  Research shows that youth who have high levels of developmental assistance achieve more and are involved in fewer high-risk behaviors.  According to the National Cares Mentoring Movement, when young people are mentored well, 98% stay in school; 98% do not become teen parents; 85% do not use drugs; and 98% avoid gang participation.  The goal of our mentoring program is to provide young men with sound advice, strong support, and new societal experiences that will create a vision of \u201cWhat\u2019s Possible\u201d for their lives.<\/p>\n<p>We believe there is hope for every child having a difficult time functioning in school and in society.  With this belief, we strive to do the following to make the difference:<br \/>\n\u2022\tProvide them with support.<br \/>\n\u2022\tExpose them to a different way.<br \/>\n\u2022\tEstablish expectations.<br \/>\n\u2022\tHold them accountable.<br \/>\n\u2022\tProvide encouragement.<br \/>\n\u2022\tReward them when they do well.\n<\/p>\n<p>Total Project Budget: 110,286<\/p>\n<p>Other Funding <br \/>\nSources For The Project (Committed &amp; Potential): United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, The Youngstown Foundation<\/p>\n<p>Project Duration: One year 2027<br \/>\nGeographical Area Served: Youngstown, Ohio<br \/>\nAge Group To Be Served: 10-14<\/p>\n<p>Contact Information<\/p>\n<hr size='1' noshade='noshade' \/>\n<p>Contact Prefix (Mr,Mrs etc.): Mr<br \/>\nContact First Name: Bruce <br \/>\nContact Last Name: Rushton<br \/>\nContact Title: CEO<br \/>\nContact Phone: 614-404-2396<br \/>\nContact Email: bruce.rushton@koolboizfoundation.org<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hermanowski Family Foundation Initial Request Form Organization Name: Kool Boiz Foundation Legal Name (if Different): Also Known As: Mailing Address: 755 Kentucky Circle City: Marysville State: Ohio Postal Code: 43040 Main Phone: 614-404-2396 Main Fax: Organization Website: www.koolboizfoundation.org Employer ID Number: 47-4625578 Organization Tax Status: 501c3 Proposal Information Today&#8217;s Date: 2\/21\/26 Requested Amount: 10000 Project [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-grants"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=9332"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9332\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9333,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9332\/revisions\/9333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=9332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=9332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/hermanowskifoundation.org\/members\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=9332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
