Who qualifies?

M.U.S.T. is committed to empowering Black males who face the greatest systemic barriers in our community. We specifically support rising 9th-grade Black males in Seattle Public Schools, providing mentorship and resources to help them liberate themselves.

While we prioritize freshmen, we welcome students from all grade levels as mentees.

Mentees meet one-on-one each week with their Mentor to share a meal and conversation. On weekends they attend group outings designed to expand their worldview and expose them to new experiences like snowboarding, visiting museums, touring college campuses, and attending sporting events.

What would a M.U.S.T. Mentor do for me?

Having someone who is fully invested in your success

Guide you through mistakes before you make them.

Guide you on how to handle and learn from your mistakes after you make them.

Making new friends and forming a brotherhood.

Encouragement in finding your interests and unlocking your potential.

Seeing and doing new experiences.

Are your mentors safe?

Our mentors are highly-screened during the selection process, undergo annual background checks, and have to take random drug tests each year.  They also have to take child protection training to make them more aware of child predators.  M.U.S.T. desires to create a safe environment for the youth we serve and take every measure necessary to ensure our mentors are safe.
