Shanelle Moon discovered her desire for helping others while attending Cleveland State University. It was during her time there that she joined several student organizations, most of which served the community in some form. After working in different fields, Shanelle began working for a non-profit organization in 2016 where she was assigned to oversee teenage members, ages 13 to 18 years old. She was able to increase teen membership, raise college funds and implement new programs to help teenagers in the program advance into adulthood. Upon leaving her position with a neighborhood based non-profit Shanelle knew that she wanted to continue her work with young people in the community and decided to form her own non-profit, Cleveland Kid’s Project. Cleveland Kid’s Project will launch in September 2020 and the mission is to provide 15 high school sophomores and juniors with a 10-month mentorship program. The program will focus on five areas of development: Professional Networking, Public Speaking, Community Leadership Development, Career Exploration and Etiquette.
