About
Mentoring and Partnership for Youth Development (MPYD) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization who provides support to underprivileged youth by providing mentoring, academic support, social skills development, and career development through our various programs.
​
MPYD serves at-risk 14-18 year old male youths at John Muir High School. Approximately 90% of the members are Latino or African-American. A majority of the youths are in single parent households or are a part of the foster care system. The youth typically come from low-income and matriarchal households making them eligible for welfare and other government funding. These socioeconomic problems are accompanied by poor academics, high dropout rates, gang involvement and juvenile delinquency.
We believe all men can embrace who they are,
can define their future, and can change the world.
