The Blueprint to Success Program is a transformative program that fosters responsibility and character development in boys aged 8 to 14. Comprising 16 engaging sessions, each focused on a distinct aspect of manhood, the program employs highly interactive activities to facilitate learning and growth. Our mentors understand that every participant has their own unique journey toward maturity and self-discovery and we're there to support them through their journey.

In today's society, traditional rites of passage for adolescent boys are scarce. Many mistakenly equate adulthood with milestones such as high school graduation, obtaining a driver’s license, voting, or reaching the age of 21. The Blueprint to Success is thoughtfully designed to guide boys through the complexities of this transition, offering encouragement and support as they navigate the specific challenges of growing into responsible adult men. 

The ultimate goal of this journey is for each young man to recognize his unique talents, explore opportunities to contribute to his family, and learn how to become a valuable member of his community.

The Pearl Foundation proudly partners with the Eastside Boys and Girls Clubs, to provide dedicated mentors who deliver this impactful program.

The Pearl Foundation is excited to introduce the Career Readiness Program, a visionary initiative dedicated to empowering high school youth aged 15-18. This program addresses the critical need for consistent, proactive adult guidance as students navigate their future paths, whether that involves college, trade school, military service, or entering the workforce. By equipping these young adults with vital information, resources, and strategies, the program aims to help them envision their futures and develop actionable plans to achieve their goals. This initiative also serves as a significant continuation for graduates of our Blueprint to Success programs, ensuring that we maintain supportive connections with young men over the age of 14 and continue to impact new participants.

The Financial Literacy Program is designed for students of all ages. The program aims to equip young adults with skills to develop and manage finances, establish a portfolio that will benefit them into retirement, and understand the challenges of establishing their first household.

Participants will have the opportunity to learn how financial institutions work, use their products, manage accounts, and develop plans for higher education funding. The program, facilitated by financial professionals, consists of a three-hour workshop where volunteers will share personal experiences with financial management throughout their careers.  The next class will be bilingual to expand attendance to a multitude of nationalities in the Puget Sound area.

The PGA Jr League brings friends, families, and communities together through golf.

We sponsor youth golfers with membership fees, equipment funding and tournament participation.
