We strive to make our programs accessible to all families, no matter their income level. Most of our programs are free and open to the public. However, our more complex, curriculum-based programs that give our youth participants a deeper dive into developing leadership skills include a program fee to help cover our costs. While these fees are essential to creating impactful, high-quality programs, we feel strongly that a family's financial situation should not be a barrier to the positive outcomes a child can gain from our Saturday Leadership Academy Program. That is why we offer fee assistance for families with a demonstrated financial need. We also offer payment plans to any family who requests one.
If you have questions about fee assistance, contact Precious McKoy, Founder/Executive Director at mckoyp@shieldmentor.org.
