Your ability to break down language arts concepts in an easy-to-understand way, along with your patience and kindness, was truly appreciated.

Today we finally got to meet the amazing Kelvin Pruitt, Chief Wellness Coach and founder of Mentalife.
Not only did we get a deeper look into his mission of helping people (especially youth) live high-quality, intentional lives… but his passion for teaching and developing the next generation is exactly the kind of energy and expertise we want around Young Founders Society.
We’ve got some BIG plans in motion—think workshops, coaching, and the start of a nonprofit arm of Young Founders Society. We’re already an approved Step Up for Students provider, and this next step is going to open doors to so many more families and organizations.
Stay tuned.
