The S'Move Program for Leadership, Mentorship, and Character Development
Our Impact
S'MOVE (Superheroes on the Move) is a leadership, mentorship, and character development program born out of a powerful partnership between Sensei Stanley Crump of the Okinawan Karate Dojo and Alvin "Testimony" Bowman of MindzEye. Since 2014, their unique chemistry — Sensei Stan teaching the principles, Testimony helping participants feel them — has reached thousands of youth annually across Maryland. Together they create spaces where people don't just hear messages of hope and change.
