The ultimate goal of our program is to help young people become productively engaged adult citizens-law-abiding, connected to meaningful work, in healthy relationships, and living in healthy environments. African American boys are likely to experience different outcomes as adults as, they face disproportionately high rates of suspension, expulsion, and drop out from high school, and are more likely to go to prison than to go to college, and to father children they will not live with or parent.
We welcome all young men in the program, no matter their background, and look forward to inspiring them to reach for their personal greatness.

Mission Statement
Our group mentoring activities are designed to be school-anchored and community-based to foster safe, nurturing, and positive relationships between adult mentors and their male mentees, their families, teachers and guidance counselors, local community leaders, and social support groups. Mentoring encourages positive choices, promotes high self-esteem, and academic achievement. It helps to foster confidence in young people that allows them to be the best version of themselves, and become more productive members of their community. Our weekly mentoring sessions provide an atmosphere where they can work on those fundamental skills required for them to achieve academic and social excellence. Our activities support young men by helping them to increase self-confidence, providing them with a higher likelihood of earning and high school diploma and fostering a decreased probability of experimenting with risky behaviors, i.e., drugs, alcohol, casual sexual behavior, or bullying.
