empower boys aged 10-19 to become “Strong, Tenacious, Educated, and Empowered Leaders” in their communities. Through one-on-one and group mentoring, experiential learning, and active parental involvement, we provide the support and guidance needed to help our mentees overcome challenges, achieve academic success, explore careers, and realize their full potential.
