Partnering With Our Community
Program Offerings
One-on-One Mentoring
Our mentees will be matched with the mentor that best suits their individual needs and supports their comfort level. The goal of one-on-one mentoring is to provide an opportunity for each youth to set goals and have an outlet of support. The mentor will help establish a path and monitor progress for each goal the mentee sets.
Educational Support
Educational support will be offered to help with school work assigned and college planning. Our staff is familiar with LCPS practice and can provide differentiation, remediation, and enrichment. The staff will serve as advocates for the child and family and provide school-based recommendations.
Community Service Initiative
Each month there will be a community service initiative that the young men will support. They will assist and have a voice in all phases: objective selection, plan development, and execution.
Life skills coaching
Our team will offer life skills coaching to support career planning, independent living, and employment assistance. We will aid in finding opportunities for internships and jobs. Leaders from our community will join as guest speakers to increase exposure to new talents, skill sets, and areas of expertise.
Why Teenage Males?
Every young man wants to become a successful man. Middle school is a critical time when a young man’s choices, both conscious and unconscious, begin to form the foundation of the man he will become. No young man dreams of dropping out of school, going to prison, getting hooked on drugs, or joining a gang, yet millions do!
