Description
In 2004 The Ever Forward Club ( www.everforwardclub.org ) was founded to help decrease the massive numbers of African American and Latino Males who were failing more than 50% of their classes. They were not failing because they did not have the ability, but because they did not have a strong enough "why". The mission of The Ever Forward Club is to create communities of students who are setting and achieving goals inside and outside the classroom, so that their lives will be a reflection of their goals but only a by-product of their circumstances.
