Youth Mentorship
Unleash their inner power.
Equipping our Youth with the Life Skills to Soar
As a parent, you worry about a lot of things; safety, who is influencing them, who they will be, what will they contribute to the world and their success in the future. Here at Gadson BluePrint Academy, we start at the foundations, the blueprint of essential mannerisms that will guide and teach adolescents those small tools that make big changes for the future.
What does that look like? Life skills, etiquette, building communications skills, and the ability to articulate when put in awkward situations. We support, build confidence while encouraging young adults to be the best version of themselves. Through our courses of professional development, we are able to tailor each individual client to shape them for success. Our mission believes that civility and life skills that schools miss out on we are able to go in-depth to educate.
MEET WITH SOMEONE
WHO CAN HELP your child soar
The Gadson BluePrint Academy approach starts at the foundations, the blueprint of
essential mannerisms, that will guide and teach adolescents the crucial skills that make
significant changes for their future.
Your child will strengthen their unique talents and abilities, and we'll equip them with the
skills, tools to conquer other challenging areas. Our team will build a strong foundation
of etiquette, enhance social skills, improve communication techniques, and develop
confident leadership qualities necessary to succeed now and for the rest of their lives.

AN ONGOING EFFORT TO YOUR CHILD'S SUCESS
There's no one-size fits all solution for every child's personal goals and needs. That's why it's important to find a mentor that hears and understands your child's needs. Life coaching is a constant relationship in which we make every effort to understand who your child is, how they respond to people and situations, and the skills they need to start seeing change.
GIVE YOUR CHILD THE BOOST THEY NEED TO SUCCEED
"The education of even a small child, therefore, does not aim at preparing him for school, but for life."
Maria Montessori
