Precious Minds Mentoring Program is a program for young women, founded by a youth who has experienced her own struggles and who now seeks to help others.

Keonza Phillips is a young entrepreneur adult who grew up on the North and South sides of Chicago. Her main passion was finding a way to give back to the youth in her communities, creating positive reaction decisions, safe spaces and safe circles.

This is she decided to found a start-up program called Precious Minds. Precious Minds is a mentoring program targeting youth who identify as women, ages 10 years to 18 years old, to build confidence, academics and compassion.

According to Phillips, Precious Minds aims to educate youth who identify as women on vital assets of personal development; implementing the value of self-confidence and empathy; gaining communication and leadership skills; and building a solid foundation of trust and support in personal, professional and academic events and/or advice.
