Philadelphia & Montgomery County, PA
Mentorship in Montgomery County — led by the man who lived it.
Melvin Williams Sr. is a mentorship speaker in Montgomery County and Greater Philadelphia: author, keynote speaker, CEO of M&N Communications, and founder of The Philly Made Us Foundation.
A mentorship speaker in Blue Bell, Montgomery County
Melvin Williams Sr. combines lived experience, leadership, workforce development, mentorship, and correctional education. Today he teaches the same thing back to the people doing that work locally — teachers, counselors, social workers, coaches, correctional officers, healthcare staff, faith leaders, and managers — across Montgomery County and the city that made him.
His work is grounded here, not borrowed: the book There's a Mentor in You, The Philly Made Us Foundation, and mentoring a youth mentorship program for justice-impacted and at-risk youth that is being developed, not operating.
