The mission of the BEM Foundation is to provide students with the academic tools and leadership skills they need to produce extraordinary results and contribute to the global workforce. We mentor youth while introducing them to entrepreneurial opportunities, professional careers, and provide them with tools to combat mediocrity while fostering leadership skills. We plan to serve “at-risk” young males and females from all ethnicities and backgrounds ages 9 to 19 throughout the continental United States as well as abroad. As a result of our efforts, at risk youth and student community at-large will be inspired to ascend and become leaders in their respective communities who not only produce but lend measurable outcomes to society as a whole.

The BEM Foundation was started because we believe that the unimaginable can become a reality through continued learning, perseverance, accountability, commitment, and change. The Founders of the BEM Foundation, Ronald Mitchell and Shawn Fludd come from two diverse backgrounds, but understand the importance of implementing the aforementioned elements in the lives of children in the United States and abroad.

The BEM Foundation understands that the lives of a disadvantaged child in an undeveloped country mirror the life of an indigent child in the United States.  A child giving up on life and struggling to overcome obstacles regardless of where they live matter just as much as a child in a safe, suburban neighborhood. Today, millions of youth do not realize their potential because of their socioeconomic status and limited exposure. Given the ever-increasing advances in science and technology in the United States and abroad, the opportunities for all children to succeed are boundless. 

When faculty, students, parents, and the community-at-large subscribe to the BEM Methodology, they will know that we strive to build relationships that foster success. The BEM Methodology seeks to address real concerns and issues confronting today’s youth by employing a  full range of contemporary tools, technology models, research data collection, measurement, and data analysis.
