The two black men who were arrested for sitting in a Philadelphia Starbucks without ordering anything last month will be personally mentored by the company's CEO.

Donte Robinson and Rashon Nelson, both 23, met with Starbucks CEO Kevin Johnson after they were arrested on April 12 when a manager called police because they did not buy anything and refused to leave.

'The CEO of Starbucks is going to personally mentor these two young men going forward. After they met, he was so impressed and they were so impressed with one another that they’re going to have a continuing relationship,' their attorney Stewart Cohen said on Good Morning America.

The pair spoke on Good Morning America on Thursday to share their response to their settlements with the city of Philadelphia and with Starbucks

CEO Johnson will mentor the 23-year-olds. On Wednesday he released a statement saying he will share 'learnings and experiences' with the duo

'So not only do they have a seat at the table and not only do we have this settlement, but we have the beginning of a relationship,' he added.

CEO Johnson commended the two for their 'willingness to reconcile' and detailed the mentorship in a statement on Wednesday.

'I want to thank Donte and Rashon for their willingness to reconcile,' he said.

'I welcome the opportunity to begin a relationship with them to share learnings and experiences. And Starbucks will continue to take actions that stem from this incident to repair and reaffirm our values and vision for the kind of company we want to be,' Johnson added.

In April Robinson and Nelson made headlines when they entered a Rittenhouse Starbucks and tried to use the bathroom without purchasing anything.

A manager asked them to leave but they refused as they said they were waiting for a friend to arrive for a quick business meeting.

The manager proceeded to phone police, causing a group of officers to arrive on the scene and arrest the two young men.

A video of their arrest went viral, spurring public outrage and protests against the coffee chain for the arrest and racist treatment of the black men.

On Wednesday the pair reached a settlement with the city of Philadelphia and it was announced they would be paid a symbolic $1 each.

The city also promised to create a $200,000 program for youth entrepreneurs, teaching financial literacy in Philadelphia public high schools in under-served communities as a part of the agreement.

The program will last one year. A spokesman also said they are still deciding on whether the program will focus on young entrepreneurs of color.

The pair also accepted a confidential financial settlement from Starbucks as well as 'a seat at the table' in overseeing racial bias training at the coffee chain.

Starbucks additionally offered to finance the rest of the pair's schooling to finish their bachelor degree studies.

Nelson and Robinson did not say if they would take up that offer.

'Another thing that we can speak on with Starbucks is that they give us the opportunity to take courses to complete our bachelor's degrees so we appreciate that opportunity also...right now I can't say I will but definitely when I feel as though is needed,' Robinson told Good Morning America.

Speaking on Good Morning America Thursday, their lawyer Stewart Cohen said: 'They were so impressed with one another that they’re going to have a continuing relationship'

When asked if they were happy with their settlements, Nelson and Robinson admitted they were.

'Yes we are. We're here to focus on the foundation of a program to help young entrepreneurs specifically high school students in a public school district in Philadelphia,' Robinson said.

'The most important thing is the foundation. The fact that we have a seat at the table to work on reforms that will be included in racial bias training. Leading forward. And hopefully other companies will take what Starbucks is putting into perspective and let it follow,' Nelson added.

'What I've learned from these young men is the importance of action, not words. They said they were going to take a very bad situation and turn it into something good and they did. And they did it through dialogue and cooperation,' attorney Cohen said on the morning talk show.

The young men hope the foundation can be an endeavor they can expand in the years to come.

'The goal is to bring people together so that we can continue this on for, you know, generation after generation. This is not something that we want to do for just a year with the grant that we are blessed with,' Nelson said.

Speaking after the settlement, the Philadelphia mayor shared he was happy the Starbucks conflict was finally resolved.

'I am pleased to have resolved the potential claims against the city in this productive manner. This was an incident that evoked a lot of pain in our city and put us under a national spotlight for unwanted reasons,' Mayor Jim Kenney said.

On May 29, the company will close 8,000 cafes for the afternoon so 175,000 employees can undergo racial tolerance training.

The pair will be a part of the decision making for the training session.
