WHAT MAURICE OFFERS
Maurice can provide your school or organization with a host of various services and programs depending on your specific needs and desires. These programs are designed specifically for the development and success of youth and young adults.
F.R.A.M.E.D.
Maurice has designed and successfully implemented in many schools a program called F.R.A.M.E.D., which focuses on building character, helping students identify their strengths and natural abilities, and giving them certain tools needed to get ahead in the future. This is a six session program designed to help students and others function at a place of high self-worth and effective living.
YOUTH & YOUNG ADULT LEADERSHIP IN A CHANGING WORLD
Leadership is something many dream of but few are really capable of handling. We teach students what it really means to be a leader and we give them practical examples to follow so that they can take their skills as a leader to the next level.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
Maurice Belfonte has spent many years in the retail industry and has developed a love for assisting others in looking their best. We can provide your students with tips on how to dress for success, as well as interviewing skills and choosing the right career.
THE ENTREPRENEUR IN YOU
With a degree in Organizational Management Maurice has studied and learned a great deal about the business world. Starting his own business is one of the best decisions he ever made. He has a wealth of knowledge about being an entrepreneur and loves sharing it with others interested in going in that direction.
ASSEMBLIES
We are able to provide your school or organization with one or two period assemblies/sessions in an auditorium (preferred) or classroom setting. Topics range from character development, anti-bullying, conflict resolution, identity, purpose, college prep, and entrepreneurship.

TESTIMONIALS
“Mr. Belfonte’s program has really helped our students improve academically. He has helped to prepare them to move on to the next grade and to even consider college in a more serious way.” I’m glad he was able to come to our school.”
Rejane Delma, School Counselor
“Since Mr. Belfonte’s program has been a part of St.Hope our young boys have started to think more seriously about their future and how what they do now can affect them later. He helped them to be more team oriented, more considerate and supportive of one another. It’s evident that they have taken his principles and applied it to their lives.”
“Since Mr. Belfonte has been conducting his program at St. Hope Leadership Academy our students have shown improvements in their behavior as well as their classwork.” His program has been the catalyst for a lot of the young men’s change.”
Ruben Martinez, Guidance Counselor
“One of the things I found fascinating about Maurice and his program was that there was a strong focus on the individual student. His program was focused on them finding and building on who they are. Over all I think Maurice did a great job empowering our students, so much so that after he completed his initial program with our freshman, we were in talks to bring him back to address more of our students.”
Justine Astacio, Guidance Counselor
“Maurice really has an uncanny ability to connect with students in a really personal and motivational way. His presence, integrity, and authenticity when he speaks, is really powerful and really impactful and it connects with kids in a meaningful way.”
