Our Mentoring Approach
Supportive Environment
In our mentoring approach, we prioritize creating a supportive and inclusive environment where young individuals feel heard, valued, and understood. Our goal is to empower them to express themselves freely and explore their thoughts and emotions without judgment.
Personal Growth
We are dedicated to fostering personal growth and self-discovery. Through our sustainable mentoring practices and SMART goals, we aim to help young individuals develop a deeper understanding of themselves, build resilience, and cultivate a positive outlook on life.
Holistic Well-being
At Triple Threat Mentoring, we believe in a holistic approach to well-being. Our Mentors focus on addressing the mental, emotional, and social aspects of young individuals' lives to support their overall health and happiness. We do this through our three pillars: Academics, Athletics, and Attitude.
Additional Features
What you get from our program in addition to mentorship
01
Travel Exposure
Travel Exposure focuses on providing our youth of color access to their community, city, state, nation, and more. One of the greatest gifts of travel is the opportunity to see the world from a different perspective. Walking tours, museum visits, and homestays provide insight into a place’s history, cultural traditions, and people.
03
Paying it forward
Through serving the surrounding community of Metro Portland, our youth learn to place value in giving back. The outreach our program does not only helps the individuals & families of these communities, but it also gives the youth an opportunity to develop a solid support system and foundation.
02
College & Career Readiness
Our youth deserve the highest support and education on their options after high school. We strive to provide resources, exposure, and education around college and career opportunities. We provide HBCU & college visits, scholarships, admissions, and essay support.

Athletics
Utilizing sports like basketball, Triple Threat Mentorship can teach transferable life skills, how to have a collective community impact and accountability. Competing together teaches team building, trust, and many other things. There are many benefits that athletics brings to our youth's lives.
Impact of Mentorship

For those who are being mentored, it is linked to improved academic, social and economic prospects. For those who are mentoring, the relationship can build leadership and management skills, expand a mentor’s professional network, and provide an empowering opportunity to give back to the community." - Mentoring.org
