R.O.Y.A.L. strives to be an example of how mentoring and community involvement can make a real difference in the lives of our youth. Founded in 2013, R.O.Y.A.L. Mentoring Group began as an assembly of a few individuals who all banned together to help reduce teen gang violence and provide mentoring services to at-risk youth in an unpublicized fashion. With most of our staff coming from the same background as the majority of the young individuals we work with, R.O.Y.A.L. has been able to identify and create strong bonds with our at risk youth. We’ve connected dots with different groups/gangs/individuals who were at odds, and found peaceful solutions to end the method of using violence to settle disputes. Even though gang violence is our number one priority, R.O.Y.A.L. has also been successful in helping young people develop skills and interests that inspire them to become entrepreneurs and business owners rather than being in the streets and risking their freedom or lives. Mentoring in public schools and juvenile facilities has allowed us to expand our reach to our youth on all levels and continues to make a positive impact on the lives of young people and their families.

  R.O.Y.A.L. is committed to destroying the school-to-prison pipeline that has been filtering young adults at an alarming rate.
