If an ongoing mentoring effort is not possible, the Shadowing Program utilizes Terrie’s relationships to enlist friends, business executives, and established professionals to allow a young person to “shadow” them for a day.

Youth get to experience a professional business environment and gain knowledge into the workings and daily routines of a corporate office. Young people can never aspire to anything if they aren’t exposed to new and different worlds.

The Stay Strong Foundation will ensure (through written letters by mentors or those who have allowed a young person to shadow them) that hundreds of young people will be mentored or allowed to shadow each year.
