SHIELD Mentor Program (SHIELD) is a nonprofit organization that serves youth of Greensboro between the ages of 12 and 18 with a full range of mentoring programs and services, providing the skills for success in leadership development.  Precious and Antonio McKoy, Executive Director and Development Director respectively, founded the organization in January 2008 with the belief that providing youth with community role models serving as mentors could replace the lost of positive role models in the lives of youth and shape their behavior at home, at school, and in their personal lives.

Afro Puffs and Ponytails is constantly searching for information about camps, clubs and organizations, and mentoring programs to provide as resources for parents and community organizers. It is our hopes that each resource provided will serve to build confidence, enhance self esteem, develop leadership skills, empower, uplift and educate our African American girls. We are not recommending these programs, but offering a starting point for you to conduct your own evaluation and research about whether a program is right for your child.
