Mentorship. Leadership. Community.
At Memphis Youth Development Group, we empower underserved youth in Memphis through mentorship, leadership training, and community engagement. Our flagship program, Mentors 360, provides a structured, 15-week curriculum designed to build self-awareness, confidence, and leadership skills. We connect young people with dedicated mentors, host city-wide events and workshops, and organize youth-led service projects to create real, lasting impact. By equipping youth with the tools they need to break generational barriers, we’re shaping future leaders and strengthening our community. Join us in building a brighter future for Memphis—one young leader at a time.

Our Curriculums
The Memphis Youth Development Group (MYDG) uses specialized curriculums designed to enhance youth development. Over 15 weeks, Mentees and Youth Ambassadors collaborate with an Adult Mentor, creating a cycle of learning and teaching through community. As Mentees progress through Self-Awareness, Building Confidence, and Applying Leadership, Youth Ambassadors (former Mentees) advance their leadership capabilities by focusing on Mentorship Foundations, Leadership Excellence, and Community Impact.
