The Youth Leadership and Team Building component of the curriculum will be provided by specialists in youth development from various agencies to be added at a later date.  Also, community development agencies associated with the Program will provide additional information and strategies especially those who have achieved success working with youth throughout the state.  Using a leadership curriculum program called I-Sight, the mentors will be trained to help students learn to better assess their skills and talents, as well as helping them to gain a better self-image, and behavior modification, a problem that many disadvantaged youth experiences. To foster the team building component we will bring in FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology); FIRST provides a robotics competition (for children ages 6 yrs through High School) as a way of to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology. We also chose FIRST because it fosters a culture of Gracious Professionalism

The Career Development and Workforce Readiness component of the mentor program curriculum will involve specific training from OneStop, Career Network Center, Maryland Workforce Exchange and Prince Georges Community College will allow students to learn how to search for possible career paths and actual careers.  Tangible instruction will include information about job duties, salaries, interviewing strategies, job application assistance, and a myriad of informational components about job training.

Sample planned activities include job shadowing for participating students, allowing them, along with their mentors, to follow someone in a specific workplace.  The mentor would probably have a major role in helping identify the shadowing workplace location.  Also planned is a specific career assessment survey that would lead participating student to begin taking a look at potential career paths, providing information at the middle school level that could potentially influence curriculum and after school jobs the student would be involved with in high school later.  Additional activities would include seminars, workshops, educational tours, counseling, mentoring and cultural events.
