We aim to provide our young men with validation as they navigate the life they inherited.

Financial Literacy

Using the software EverFi, the young men will learn how to create and utilize a budget to govern their everyday lives.

Hip Hop Pillars

The adolescents will develop literacy skills through exposure to social media, articles, journals, music, videos, etc.

Black/Latin History

Our young men will develop a keen awareness of the spiritual connection to one’s ancestors. When one learns who he is, he’s able to walk in the world more confident and determined to be successful.
