A Change For Good

In the News

Stay in the Know

A few words from Robert Mitchell Jr., Director

And we are using the arts as a method of diversion for the participants in this program. While they enjoy the benefits. They are also getting the unconscious therapeutic values as well as subconscious counseling and coaching which helps them to make a change for good. 

Utilizing such activities as spoken word poetry slams, creative writing, creating artwork, clay sculptures or stone chiseling in art classes to have art shows as part of a therapeutic modality. 

We are using music in various genres. Music and song writing will be produced and performed by the participants. These classes are taught and coached on our social media. Social media plays an important part in marketing and promoting recorded music. 

A Change For Good: Dedication and Service with Proven Impact

“A Change for Good” is a community based, Life Transforming, Course Correction Intervention Service. Although, this is the initial Inception of the Pilot Program, It was born out of Great Faith, Care, Concern and Love , berthed behind the bars of 27 years of  Corrections and Rehabilitations Training. 

It is our Mission to Identify and Assist specifically qualified Participants in making

 “ A Change for Good.” In numerous areas of their lives, to include but not limited to:

Mindset

Goal Setting, 

Self-discipline, 

Community pride, 

Entrepreneurship, 

Peer to peer harmony enhancement, 

Employment skills, 

Law-enforcement contact skills. 

The primary service we will perform is interacting with specific at-risk segments of the community in ways that will help prevent negative and unlawful behavior and bring about great improvement in decreasing crime and various other areas as they make,” A Change For Good”.

This will also be done using the Arts. We have found that music, theater and painting, to name a few, are a great vehicle for redirection in making “A Change for Good”.

Our proposed program for "A Change For Good”, is to interact and positively influence specifically identified, qualified at risk members of the community who can make, “A Change For Good”, by participating in our transformation and redirection protocol. We introduce a creative culture which is driven by the arts in the form of  theatrical dramas or other creative outlets such as musical productions or art shows. These activities, while being beneficial in and of themselves, are the surface level intervention while deeper, more significant and lasting changes in character are being delivered at an unconscious level. While creating art, we can impart the lessons that are designed to make profound and impactful changes for good!

A Change for Good is a community based intervention program that works with at risk male youths, ages 13 to 21. We will identify qualified participants based on certain behavioral markers that indicate a need to make,”A Change for Good.” Participants must show signs that they might strongly benefit from the program, must be open and receptive to the counseling process. At this time it is a voluntary program. While it may in the future become court ordered or otherwise mandated.

After a stringent application process and review, participants will be selected by our board of the directors. The program will run for 12 months with quarterly checkpoints from the initial launch date which will be in 2023. We will meet once biweekly for coaching and counseling and planning sessions. After the initial intake process and evaluation an individual plan of action for intervention will be  prescribed for each participant. A monthly group session will also take place during the program year.

“A Change for Good” and  Director Robert Mitchell Jr., Brings 27 years of law enforcement/corrections and rehabilitation experience and training to the table. We also bring 10 years of coaching, counseling and hypnotherapy and working with  diverse offenders. All this, coupled with a lifelong love and participation in the arts has made this unique process truly amazing and highly effective.

Our program will serve between 12 and 15 participants per annual term. By using the arts such as; acting, music, poetry, painting, sculpture and dance as well as a mix of counseling, coaching, mindfulness and meditation, mindset training and  reprogramming, participants find themselves fully invested in the program and process and therefore making, ”A Change for Good”.
