About Paul Plotkin, the founder of Mission Grit™:

My self-realization journey began with having the privilege to serve in the military, where I discovered various ways of overcoming physical and mental hardships, and how from complete strangers people become more than one family to another with the power of teamwork and devotion. I am forever grateful for the friendships and the life lessons that have been given to me during my service.

Fast forward and here I am building businesses and meeting great people. Through my business establishments, I had the opportunity to work with influential individuals that came from Entrepreneurial, Religious, Political, Scientific, Educational and Defense spheres. With their permission I was able to interview them and have open philosophical discussions about personal growth and leadership. These lessons have helped me to adopt powerful habits and deepen my life philosophy. These impactful life lessons have led me to realize that everything I did was only making a “local impact”, which led me to think more about what I wanted for my children, and for children that will be growing up with them, and what world they will all be living in. ... As a result of these thinkinings Back in 2010 I followed my passion and began working with children and youth organizations. Since that time I have fully devoted myself to discover and build child development concepts that are rich in depth, impactful and nurture children to explore their full potential. Since that moment I have had the privilege to establish multiple successful child development facilities, meet thousands of children and their parents, involve with community projects and to constantly push the boundaries of my training platforms forward.

After more than a decade since I followed my passion I am positive that the new generations to come will have the confidence, leadership, grit, and the skills to positively impact our world, one generation at time.

I am proud and excited to be part of the Charlotte community, and to build together a new concept that is more powerful than ever before.

With open arms and a warm heart I Welcome your family.

Respectfully,
Paul P

OUR CONCEPT

MissionGrit Concept Logo

Our logo is more than just a “logo”, it Is a symbol that unfolds our philosophy in a visual representation. You'll find this symbol on our uniforms, wall art and other visual materials.
There are 6 hidden elements in the “logo”

Footprint 1

The footprint represents a path and a way of conducting yourself, with people and in situations. It is your personal responsibility to make a positive change in the world and leave it better than it used to be.

There are two letters, an M and G. These are the first letters of our name Mission Grit™.

The arrow represents a sense of direction, a compass that helps us to navigate through the walks of life while staying focused on our goals.

One of our core values is to teach children the art of teamwork through team building challenges and life lessons. This is represented with five people working together.

The lab tube represents science, expiremnantion, innovation and progression. We believe that children need to be encouraged to learn how to think, not what to think. Dare systems and bring innovation through trial and error. Think creatively, experiment, and learn how to follow through when things don’t go smoothly.

Leadership is represented by the large-scale individual that is creating relationships with the team, leading team members on their journey, and taking responsibilities upon themself.

THE NAME

Our Mission is to help children explore and develop their full potential while adopting Grit principals, through impactful and fun experiences.

OUR SLOGAN

EXPLORE YOUR POTENTIAL

Life is an amazing adventure. We want to join your child on their epic journey and provide them with an impactful positive mentorship along the way. We are here to have a good time while helping children explore what they are capable of.

OUR COLORS

Green: The color green represents our heritage in military service.

Yellow: Yellow represents the sunrise. When you wake up in the morning and set all of your goals for the day.

Orange: The color orange represents sundown. The end of the day and your conclusions before going to bed. The results that were acquired during the work day. What have you become? Did you help people? Did you become better? Did you succeed on your daily goals, or do you need to make improvements?
