Our Story
In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak of 2019 and the world pandemic, adolescents and young adults were found to be struggling considerably. They faced many challenges and
stressors, including the toll of social isolation, mental health concerns and fared poorly academically. This provided the impetus for our work: We looked for agencies mentoring youth
and found no credible referral sources; thus our collaborative partnership* efforts fueled the development of MakeOver2710, Inc. Prior to the pandemic, there were roughly 1 in 5 adolescents living with mental health condition with increased vulnerability to self-harm & suicide. There was also increased susceptibility to
depression and engagement in higher-risk behaviors. This number has increased drastically since the pandemic. Solution: MakeOver2710 Inc is a voluntary human services organization seeking to positively
impact the lives of those it serves. Through significant Mentoring & Mental Health/ Wellness efforts, MakeOver2710, Inc brings out the hidden leader in each student / mentee, helping them
to develop integrity, confidence, socialization, life-skills, peer support, empowerment, self-investment, and career readiness. This helps change their life course and increases the
likelihood for attending college and developing a successful career.
