At the Family Enrichment Center, we believe that transformation begins with belief—belief in potential, belief in community, and belief in the power of support. Motivated Minds is a dynamic empowerment initiative designed to help youth and young adults develop the mindset, tools, and opportunities they need to grow into confident, capable, and resilient individuals.
This program is built on the belief that every mind has potential—and every voice deserves to be heard, nurtured, and motivated to succeed.
Our Mission
The mission of Motivated Minds is to ignite purpose, promote self-awareness, and support positive decision-making in youth through structured mentorship, educational support, and life-skills development. We focus on building strong minds, strong families, and stronger futures.
Who We Serve
Motivated Minds is open to youth and young adults, particularly those who may be:
- Transitioning out of foster or kinship care
- Experiencing family instability or generational trauma
- Facing academic or social barriers
- In need of additional guidance and mentorship
- At risk of disengagement or juvenile involvement
We offer a safe and empowering space where participants are heard, challenged, and equipped to succeed.
What We Offer
Through workshops, one-on-one coaching, and community engagement, Motivated Minds provides:
- Mentorship and goal setting
- Emotional wellness and resilience coaching
- Life skills development (budgeting, communication, self-care, etc.)
- Academic tutoring and homework help
- Career exploration and job-readiness workshops
- Youth leadership councils
- Community service and outreach opportunities
- Support groups for young people navigating major life transitions
Our Approach
We take a holistic, trauma-informed approach to working with youth. Each participant receives individualized support and encouragement from trusted adults and community leaders. Our programming is hands-on, interactive, and designed to meet the real-life needs of the youth we serve.
We don’t just build skills—we build confidence, motivation, and a roadmap to long-term success.
