this is xcel
Xcel Strategies Inc. is a mentoring network that was founded in Savannah, GA in 2012 to care for young people between 15-25 years of age. Xcel exists to FUEL YOUNG PEOPLE WITH PURPOSE and passion to reach the fullness of their potential through a network of wise, seasoned, and trained mentors.
I was fortunate as a young man to have my current father adopt me and become my mentor. He provided guidance and opportunities for me that I would not have had otherwise.
Our hope is that you will be inspired to play a role in helping build a mentoring network around young people in our communities who might be struggling, like I was.
– Jay Thompson
Xcel exists to FUEL YOUNG PEOPLE WITH PURPOSE!
We are a 501c3 mentoring young people in Life Skills, Job Skills and Trade Skills.
The young people we mentor come through our community partnerships and it is at these partnerships that we mentor on our Mobile Training Units, in groups and sometimes individually.
Mentoring Strategy
OVER SEVENTY PERCENT of adults in our prison system come from homes without full or partial parental oversight. A major problem for young people nationwide is the loss of a parent due to abuse, addiction, death, separation, or incarceration. In most cases, these young people are left without direction, without purpose and they don’t have a network to lean on or mentors to follow. This is why Xcel exists.
