Action Plan:
The Martinus Mitchum Foundation will accomplish this mission by delivering vital resources directly to students and families in need. The media (television, internet & radio) will be used as communication and technical training tools thus sparking the engagement of individuals in the community to give of their time, talent, and resources.
Giving Back Campaigns are coordinated throughout the year to encourage others to help those in need. The campaigns are donation drives that will provide resources and the necessities for individuals and families.
The Martinus Mitchum Foundation works diligently to provide resources for low-income families, especially our youth. Mitch believed that "Education is the key to success." Unfortunately, many students attend school under challenging circumstances and need support. Many need to overcome obstacles of economic distress, domestic instability, and a lack of resources. "The Mitch Way" is designed to help students be successful in their academic course of study while engaging, empowering, and stabilizing families as they build brighter futures.
We can present possibilities; It just takes you.

Perry Walker High School, and Landry-Walker High School, respectively.
