Parrott shares how building kids up from underserved communities can bring up an entire neighborhood. Parrott discusses how the kids in the program as they get older not only become mentors themselves but also earn a wage doing it as iLEADers. Parrot explains how being faith-based is the secret to their success. Parrott details how churches and schools are the anchors to these neighborhoods. (www.mentorkidsusa.org)
