In August 2016, BAY officially commenced the preparation to develop a Mentorship Program. Stacy Pope-Morey, a founding member of BAY, took the leadership role in this new endeavor. A series of training has been done in partnership with the Child
Development Foundation. A committee of young vibrant members has been formed. BAY Mentorship Program provides meaningful guidance to younger people through a teaching process. Trained mentors committed to the program’s successfully transfer knowledge, act as role models, and build positive relationships with younger persons leading them in becoming successful citizens in society. This program was officially launched on December 8th, 2017 with 12 mentors and 12 mentees. A year of events has been planned out with activities for the mentors and mentees to keep engaged.
