Mentoring & Academic Development

How It Works

At The Center for MARCUS, the enrolled students are provided with a personal tutor to assist them with their educational needs and goals. They are also provided a personal mentor whose job is to work with the student at mastering and refining the gift or skill they identified and showcased during the interview process. Throughout the year, the students are exposed to different cultures and participate in trips and outings that we sponsor.  They will also be afforded the opportunity to volunteer at the fundraisers and other events The Center for MARCUS hosts regularly.

In addition, the students are expected to attend the conferences and trainings we hold at the center, in which we have guest speakers who provide valid and relevant information as well as share their own personal experiences.  There are at least two events yearly in which the students showcase their talents in a performance. These events are a fundraiser as The Center for Marcus is a not– for– profit organization, and we honor our donors at these events as well.  We strive to ensure our students know we are proud of them, we support them and we believe in them.

Benefits

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful

beyond measure.

It is our Light not our Darkness, that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?

Actually, who are you NOT to be?

You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world
