My Son is Me Inc. plans to focus on young boys ages 8 to 13, a time period of pre-adolescence that is critical in human development.

Founder, James Wright is a long time community volunteer in youth sports leagues and is a law enforcement professional who was born, reared and currently works and volunteers in Newark.  He saw a huge need in attending to this age due to the gap of services available for boys who are 8 to 13 year-olds.  This part of a child’s development is critical and what one experiences during this time affects their development.

My Son is Me Inc. is a non-profit organization providing innovative mentoring strategies to inner city boys from the ages of eight to thirteen.

Our mission is to provide mentoring, educational resources, technology training and arts & culture instruction in an environment that assists in the growth of healthy, young and productive global citizens.  Our programs will focus on arts & culture, career awareness, entrepreneurship, education, personal wellness, technology and travel.  We also require parents, guardians or an adult family member take part in parent/child workshops such as dance, etiquette classes, trips and other workshops.
