Youth Mentorship

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.

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.


We believe in inspiring children to have enthusiasm for life to reach their true potential

and live a life of greatness!
