The Pyramid Project

Molding Youth Through Mentorship, Guidance & Experiences OUR VISION At The Pyramid Project, we envision a world in which all youth have equal access to quality resources, mentors, guidance and multi-cultural exposure to succeed and achieve their goals. OUR MISSION We empower youth with practical strategies, solutions, resources and tools, cultivate youth leadership skills, transform youth lives, and help them realize their personal, academic and career-related ambitions through extraordinary, interactive professional mentorship initiatives as well as government, private and public sector, university and community experiences. Our key youth development, mentorship and leadership programs include Youth Exposure Tour (Y.E.T), Elle-vate Girl (E.G.I) Initiative, E.G.I Forum, Ascend Forum and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Tour (HBCU). We have established unprecedented partnerships with government agencies, corporations, universities, museums and nonprofit networks and collaborated with middle and high school officials to encourage youth to enter into grade and writing contests as a way of winning opportunities to participate in our programs. These efforts paved the way for us to afford the selected students to learn firsthand about the government, corporate and community dynamics, history, historical sites and broaden their horizon during once-in-a-lifetime, weeklong tours metropolitan cities like Washington, D.C. To date, we have sponsored approximately 70 students through our programs. With one-on-one mentor guidance and youth leadership training, we teach our Student Ambassador how to lead briefings to present each day’s agenda, lead presentations to convey The Pyramid Project’s educational materials and Power, Responsibility, Inspiration, Determination and Excellence (P.R.I.D.E) curriculum as well as cultivate their professional and personal-relationship building skills.
