Mission Statement
The purpose of Jewels, Inc., is to empower the youth by enhancing their vision through gender and age specific enrichment programs.
The mission is to provide venues where the youth can acquire understanding of technical as well as social skills necessary to assume leadership roles through actual practice. Hosting collaborative events between Jewels/Gentlemen and Jewels, Inc., mentees, the youth will gain leadership skills and knowledge for producing community-based events for entertainment and education.
Weekly Lifeskills Workshops
The Jewels & Gentlemen for Jewels, serve as community role models for other youth. Young local high school teens are eligible for "adoption" as "younger siblings" who will become official Jr. Jewels/Gents & TenderSTONES/Jr. Gents. All enrichment programs participate in self-improvement and life development workshops including, but not limited to: resume building, etiquette, interview skills/mock interviews, networking, healthy relationships, racism/sexism, hygiene, black history, career opportunities, entrepreneurship, health & nutrition, and many more.
Workshops are given at various sites around local communities including: Washington, DC; St. Louis, MO; Chicago, IL & more. Additional growth and development are gained from a variety of exciting education, cultural and artistic outings. Working together cooperatively all Jewels, Inc., participants will become an asset in their local communities.
