ABOUT

ICE Mentors (Image Character Etiquette) is a mentorship and empowerment organization designed to equip youth with practical life lessons and positive examples. Through direct engagement with program mentors and tangible real-world instances, our aim is not only to guide youth through the journey of life but to instill in them the ability to lead meaningful lives driven by purpose and fueled by passion. Established in 2011, ICE Mentors has committed itself to fostering the comprehensive development of youth, with a primary focus on empowering youth of color to excel in today’s society.

Under the ICE Mentors umbrella, the Eryn PiNK Girl Empowerment (named in tribute to a fictional character) and Men of ICE Boy Empowerment programs serve as gender-specific initiatives designed to meet the unique needs of middle school girls and boys of color. These programs are tailored to uplift, empower, and inspire the next generation of leaders, ensuring they are equipped with the confidence, resilience, and leadership skills necessary to succeed in their personal, academic, and professional lives.

When students reach high school or when programs are combined, we unite both boys and girls under the banner of EPIC—which stands for Eryn PiNK and ICE. EPIC represents a collaborative and inclusive space where teens come together to grow as leaders and young professionals. Through career exploration, leadership development, and academic accountability, the EPIC program provides them with the tools and experiences needed to thrive in their future careers, education, and personal lives.
