Organization Narrative
Parents’ Management, Inc. (PMI) was created to provide an alternative parent-assisted program for economically disadvantaged urban youth seeking change and betterment in their lives. The program offers creative and enriching opportunities through mentoring and peer leadership. We want to instill a positive outlook, in contrast to the negative activities they may witness daily in their communities. We assist young people in developing leadership and media communication skills. We also educate the community at large about the importance of youth development and about available resources.
We Value: Creativity, Enrichment, and Change
The unifying theme for the Parent’s Management, Inc. activities is the empowerment of young people and their families through strengthened skills, discipline, communication and self-esteem. Parent’s Management encourages youths and parents to make a commitment together to a program that will be enjoyable and beneficial to both. This program has the power to strengthen families and the greater community. It brings young people and adults together with their peers to share experiences and build independence. By channeling the energy of youth into constructive pursuits, PMI offers a dynamic- and timely-alternative to the forces of negativity and violence.
