We Help Youth and Young Adults in Underserved Communities Reclaim Their Future
We provide mentorship, resource navigation for youth & families, and social emotional learning programming that helps youth stay in school, stay out of the system, and step into their purpose.
Our mission is to support youth and young adults from underserved communities in building a future of opportunity and purpose. Through mentorship, family-centered support, and social-emotional learning, we help youth stay on track, out of the system, and driven by their potential.

Programs That Shift Trajectories

Mentorship & Resource Navigation:
We pair youth with mentors who offer consistent, culturally grounded guidance — while also connecting families with housing, food, education, and mental health resources.
Diversion Programs:
Our alternative-to-incarceration services offer restorative, healing-centered pathways that address harm while keeping youth out of detention.
EVERY ONE DESERVES A SECOND CHANCE
Pro Se Potential has been working tirelessly to ensure that youth of color in low-income communities receive equitable access to resources and peer mentorship for a safe and effective transition to adulthood.
The services we offer are all geared towards empowering our young people with stability and the agency to discover their true purpose in life. By empowering and guiding young individuals who may have been written off by society for one reason or the other, we hope to inspire change and rebuild broken foundations.
