ABOUT US
Founded in 2012 by Mark A. White,
Correcting One's Destiny is a non-profit
organization based in Macomb County Michigan.
Correcting One's Destiny (C.O.D.) is an organization that targets young men who have been abandoned by their fathers and society; we attempt to amplify the importance of education, focus and discipline. Our mentoring program and prison after care program work in total opposition of each other, our mentoring agenda is to prevent incarceration. Our prison after care agenda is to aid and assist the individual who is truly looking for a fresh start, one that increases their probability of success, through a selective process that the applicant must go through, once selected (C.O.D.) requires a contractual agreement between the returning citizen, the Church and State of Michigan. Our program is also an alternative to incarceration for non-violent offenders.
The mentoring aspect of our program best serves the community because we start with teenagers at the junior high school level. This helps to prevent our participants from acting out upon arriving at high school because of fear or anxiety which is often present when facing a intimidating new environment. It allows the transition from junior high school to high school to be much easier. Our core values consist of several different aspects into manhood 1) Self-awareness 2) Accountability 3) Respect 4) Commitment 5) Discipline
6) Communication 7) Anger Management 8) Dealing with Envy
