    Building on Mentoring Principles by having Fun!

    The PEARSON Foundation is prayerfully planning to take a select group of students from our Youth Mentoring Program on a once in a lifetime experience to attend the World Athletics Championships, July 13-26, 2022. The event is being held for the first time ever in the USA, and will be hosted at Haywood Field in Eugene, Oregon. This event brings together World-class track and field athletes from over 200+ Countries.   

    The purpose of the trip is to build on many of the character and conduct principles taught from the Book of Proverbs throughout our mentoring program, and to expand the educational experiences of the students. 

    Will be a life impacting experience --for sure!

      AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING

      IN-SCHOOL & COMMUNITY MENTORING

      AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING

      It is vital that our students in the Greater Jackson Metro/Central Mississippi area are prepared and equipped to read with comprehension in order to achieve life-skill potential and success. Better educated, better equipped and better skilled students simply means better families, better schools, better workers and workplaces, better public servants, and a better and more culturally progressive Central Mississippi.

      READING INSTITUTES

      IN-SCHOOL & COMMUNITY MENTORING

      AFTER SCHOOL TUTORING

      Designed to help students in grades K-5 to sixth grade who are marginal or below standard reading and reading comprehension to improve 1/2 or more grade levels in reading and reading comprehension (per student) through a designed program Monday-Thursday (four days weekly), 2 hours daily during June-July, and August-April. The success of the Reading Institutes will contribute towards the strong and positive potential of each student succeeding in life and adding value back into our local, national and global communities.

      IN-SCHOOL & COMMUNITY MENTORING

      IN-SCHOOL & COMMUNITY MENTORING

      IN-SCHOOL & COMMUNITY MENTORING

      PEARSON Foundation operates what many in the education field considers a State of Mississippi Best Practice Model Mentoring-Leadership Program currently in three schools and one school district. Through a carefully constructed multi-year collective community impact collaboration with parents, educators and government, students are lovingly and constructively nurtured through in-school and community mentoring.    �

      Changing Youth Culture

      Focused on the long term while also addressing the immediate!

      Who We Are

      About PEARSON

      The​ PEARSON Foundation, Inc.—People Employing Available Resources to Strengthen Our Neighborhoods— (non profit organizations) was founded in 2000 by a group of community-minded change makers with a mission to provide services and activities that add value to people’s lives so that those lives are transformed. We seek to do this through what we call a Prayer-Care-Share Lifestyle approach or process. Our target audience is families: parents and children. The Foundation very intentionally has targeted (but not exclusively) Jackson-Pearl, Mississippi because of their high percentage of socio-economically disadvantaged households. Some families in these communities are plagued with problems of pervasive drugs, teen pregnancies, school dropouts, violence and a host of other companion ills.

      MISSION In Action

      The PEARSON Foundation is currently operating three sites in Pearl, Mississippi.  Our in-school mentoring currently serves 40 boys in Pearl High, Jr High and Upper Elementary Schools. We hope to secure female staffing so that we can offer in-school mentoring for girls. Our Summer Reading Program operates three sites.  We seek to prepare a generation of youth for advanced education and careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) through reading enrichment and mentoring. After-school researchers and providers have recognized that hands-on, inquiry-driven science, technology, engineering and math programs are in line with our after-school's overall approach to education. Today's jobs require proficiency in STEM. There is great concern that without access to adequate educational experiences, segments of the population will be unable to participate effectively in the modern workplace. We are establishing partnerships and relationships as we integrate STEM. We believe PEARSON’s outreach to an underserved populace is a major positive to conduct, character, culture and career change in our communities.  The fact that we integrate in-school and community-based mentoring and multi-agency collaboration set our programming apart as a "Best Practice Model".  

      A Better Vision

      It is vital that our students in the Central Mississippi area are prepared and equipped to read with comprehension in order to achieve life-skill potential and success. Better educated, better equipped and better skilled students simply means better families, better schools, better workers and workplaces, better public servants, and a better and more culturally progressive Mississippi.
