Lee-Harvard | Youth and Families
Tierra S. Biggers began her journey in mentoring thanks to her mother. Extremely intrigued by the power of speaking and thinking abundantly, she realized that the more she read the more her mindset and outcomes started to shift. A former high school and college athlete, she decided to start a program called, M.A.G.I.C. (Mature Athletes Gaining Individual Commitments), which serves as a platform to enhance the development of student athletes on and off the court. In addition to M.A.G.I.C. she became a mentor for the Neighborhood Leadership Institute’s “True2U” program and the Greater Cleveland Volunteers’ “My Mentor, My Friend.” Because of what she gained from her involvement in various programs, Striving Scholars was created. Striving Scholars provides youth and young adults services to strengthen and develop their leadership skills. Its end result is for the participants to strive for excellence within their chosen craft while creating skills that will enhance the pursuit of their personal and professional goals.
