“What They See is What They'll Be”
by Kathleen Bertrand
The Success is a Journey mentoring Program was born from a passion for serving young men age 7 to 17. In 2023, Eric Samuels founded the Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) to provide leadership, discipline and character building resources for young men. Not all youth are born with privilege, opportunities, or a positive network. Some are raised throughout their lives thinking they’ll never be able to live the life they’ll want. This is because of the environment and the people who they surround themselves with every single day. Every young man should have the ability to create the life they’ve always wanted and that’s what Success is a Journey provides.Our ongoing commitment to continuously improve and implement our programmatic initiatives is what drives us. Helping shape our mentees realize their potential by showing them how to be successful and significant, stressing the importance of obtaining and applying education, and providing them the tools that empower them for self-sufficiency, cultivated civic, and business leadership.

Mentoring is often one component of a program that involves other elements, such as tutoring or life skills training and coaching. The supportive, healthy relationships formed between mentors and mentees are both immediate and long-term and contribute to a host of benefits for mentors and mentees
