10 Questions with Sims Strategic Mentoring Program Founder Walter Sims

Tell Us About Yourself: Walter Sims CEO and Founder of Sims Strategic Mentoring Program. I founded the program out of a desired compassion to empower unfortunate youth. It formed from me and a few other adults getting a group of young kids to question neighbors on how they can improve the community. Youth were evaluated on their approach and behavior in the matter, and then rewarded for their participation and effort. 
The program then took the initiative to implement such improvements. We served the community in feeding the homeless and doing Christmas dinners and gift giveaways.

What are your favorite’s quotes?
I owe God everything; Mindset is everything, Empowering minds to embrace kindness 

Can you tell us a little bit about your business or the work you do?
Youth and their family members are referred to Sims Strategic Mentoring, upon enrolling, an evaluation will occur to better understand referrals needs in developing properly. Then thorough background checked and trained mentors are assigned to assist referrals needs. The program also works with other non-profit organizations through inspirational speaking, community involvement and social development. 

What brings you the greatest joy?
Knowing and seeing that someone has taken what has been giving through me to empower themselves to be a change. 

What is the best advice you've been given?
 Be the change you want to see in the world. 

What accomplishment are you most proud of?
 Forgiving myself of what am unable to change. 

What are the two things people would be surprised to know about you?
 Where I came from and how I was able to overcome so much riding against my present and future. 
What is one thing you wish you knew when you were younger?
 That time is very precious to an unlearn mind. 

Do you help the community?
 Yes! I currently build and distribute supplies to not so fortunate neighborhoods. 

If you could talk to three people, who would they be and why?
 My Father God- To praise him,
My Dad and Grandmother -To ask unanswered questions. 

Do you have any advice you would like to leave with the reader?
Stop!!!! Obsessing over what you are trying to do and be and allow your path to form as you prepare to step into it. May God guide you.
