 STS Enterprise is a mentoring and public speaking organization That originated in Memphis Tennessee by Jeremey Calhoun and Alton Cryer. Cryer is a native to the South with a deep passion for the city. Cryer grew up in many parts of Memphis and is a graduate of Ridgeway high school. Jeremy Calhoun is from Jacksonville florida that graduated from Houston High School and played on the football team. Cryer attended Jackson State for two years, but came home to assist his sister with her diagnosis of leukemia. He eventually settled to The University of Memphis where the two men currently attend. STS enterprise seem to set forth a strong desire to shape the young urban youth who reside in a city that has one of the top crime rates nationwide.The two came together with vision that will soon inspire the entire Memphis Area.

After speaking with the young entreprenuers, they explained that their vision to mentor the youth in the urban neighborhoods came to them when  they spoke many teenage boys and realized that many are focusing their goals on manifesting the "lavish" lifestyle that they often see on tv. The men says that the young black boys expressed to them that in order to live well  "they must choose to become involved in either drugs, sports or music more just to be successful." Jeremy Calhoun states that "showing them outlets that can take them far in their young lives will show the children that they are Setting The Standard (S.T.S). Calhoun actually has a job as a coach for the Shelby County high school. These urban business owners say that they are "vibing" with the young men and at their first mentor meeting, they were truly honored with the amount of respect that the adolescents showed the entrepreneurs.

                                    
This past weekend STSEnterprise visited a senior community home called the Wesley highland meadows on highland for one of the many volunteer projects they have and it was said that it was truly a hit. below are pictures from the event. Along with other partners, including (Sean Calhoun and Angelica Coleman ) the entire team  says that they "really help the kids they don't sugarcoat the truth". One could say that their way of communicating with the high school and middle school children is a creative way to interact with the students and teach them real world situations. The team is currently mentoring Cummings Middle School, with hopes of one day expanding to many Memphis and County schools.
