Mentor
The purpose of this Mentoring with Schools Program is to develop, promote and advance Community Relationships with local School organizations and Community businesses for employment opportunities that inner city families/youth can actualize their leadership mindset.
Zion International Ministries believes that Mentoring with Schools Program is designed to steer youth away from options of using or selling drugs, joining gangs or other criminal activities committed by disconnected or unengaged youth – pointing them to Film/Media projects or competitive youth sports training.
This program represents a strategic community approach by Pastor Vincent Franklin’s well established relationship with Catholic Diocese of Columbus and FlexWork Sports Management to align resources that allow each student in the inner city neighborhoods develop stronger communication and leadership skills that will lead to a better community for all of our residents, and keep excited by our CUD-VOE FUND planning efforts for a new Charter School: K-8 “Sports & Arts Academy” coming to a Columbus Ohio inner city neighborhood soon!
