Description
The Boys Leadership Alliance is a gender specific, non-profit after school and summer camp program for boys ages 5-18. The program is an informal education program that utilizes the game of football as a metaphor to teach leadership, entrepreneurship, media and economic literacy as well as life and social skills to young men. Life coaches utilize an evidence-based curriculum to provide homework assistance and tutoring during after school hours Monday-Friday. The innovative curriculum helps boys and young men develop the skills and knowledge needed to confront life’s challenges and lead successful productive lives.
