Why A Thirst For Learning Exists: Empowering Young Black Men Through Mentorship At A Thirst For Learning (ATFL), our mission is simple yet powerful: to uplift young Black men through mentorship, education, and character development. Inspired by Medgar Evers’ legacy, our flagship program, the Ambassadors of the Evers Academy for African American Males (A-TEAAM), offers one-on-one mentorship, cultural education, and skill-building to empower these young men to navigate challenges with confidence. Having faced and conquered barriers myself, I understand the vital role mentors play. ATFL connects young men with community leaders who act as role models, guides, and advocates, fostering increased school attendance, higher self-esteem, and improved social engagement. Young men of color deserve to see themselves in positive roles and spaces where they can cultivate character, leadership, and resilience. A Thirst For Learning aims to create an empowered generation of young leaders. If you believe in the power of mentorship and the potential of our youth, consider joining us. Together, we can equip the next generation for success.
