Mentoring is the foundation of Blueprint 58. We match Christian mentors with the public school children in our neighborhood. We match mentors with students in 4th grade, and ask that the mentor walk with their student through the 12th grade. A minimum of two-year commitment is required, because we believe that the last thing these children need is simply another person who "gives up on them" and ends the relationship after a short period of time. Because of this conviction, our ministry will commit to our mentored children through high school. This means that if a child’s mentor is unable to continue for any reason, we will match them with a new mentor throughout their middle and high school career.

Mission Statement
Blueprint 58 is a community development organization that serves Atlanta’s Pittsburgh community and its surrounding neighborhoods. Our core belief is that lasting relationships are the best context for community transformation. Our mission is to strengthen our community by empowering youth, equipping young adults and families, and engaging neighbors.
Description
At Blueprint 58, we take a relational approach to community development, and work to accomplish our vision of a thriving community in Southwest Atlanta primarily through a variety of programs designed to empower youth, equip young adults and families, and engage our neighbors.
Mentoring is at the heart of what we do at Blueprint58. Our mission is to empower youth to grow into community leaders through mutually transformational relationships. Part of how we accomplish this is to match local mentors with 3-5th grade students that can commit to at least one year, and our hope is that our mentors will walk alongside their student through high school.
Sports provides a way for us to mentor our middle and high school students through dedicated coaches and volunteers. In addition, it's an opportunity for community members to rally around their teams and get to know one another. We have basketball and football teams for youth up to age 18.
Finally, we also provide various personal development programs ranging from weekly Bible studies to community support groups, outreach events, and weekly open hours for students at our new community center building in the Pittsburgh neighborhood.
