Meet Shawn D. Parker
A personal journey.
A shared purpose.
Founder • CEO • Executive Director, Engaging In Molding Choices
The beginning
Sharing the tools
he wishes he had.
Shawn D. Parker founded EMC to help others gain the life tools he wishes he had growing up. Raised without a father and facing childhood challenges, he learned many lessons through personal struggles and experience.
Over time, he came to understand how communication, financial understanding, emotional awareness, and healthy relationships influence the choices we make.
That understanding became the foundation of Engaging In Molding Choices.
The power of mentorship
Someone who
believes in you.
The guidance of Mr. Charles Oxton helped Shawn see the life-changing value of mentorship: someone who encourages your growth, helps you consider new perspectives, and believes in who you can become.
His experience in retail, customer service, management, and business ownership reinforced the importance of practical skills and supportive relationships.
Three questions at the heart of EMC
A future shaped with intention.
What do you want to be?
Explore your interests, talents, and opportunities.
Who do you want to become?
Consider your character, values, and the example you want to set.
Who would you like to help or support?
Think about the difference you can make for others.
A continuing commitment
Building legacies through
everyday choices.
Shawn’s goal is to help youth, adults, and families develop the skills and confidence to build the futures they want—and support others along the way.
His vision for EMC extends from the classroom into mentorship, leadership, workforce readiness, and community opportunity.
Shaping Choices. Building Relationships. Creating Legacies.
