Boys To Manhood
Nurturing responsible men one boy at a time, the aim of the Boys To Manhood program is to encourage boys at-risk of violent encounters, academic failure and negative behaviors to adopt positive self-awareness and ultimately academic and life success. Structured as a class elective, the program pairs role models from HBCU's in Atlanta, as mentors and teachers, with middle school-aged boys. The program also includes off-site bonding activities. Additional funding measures call for an expansion of the program into elementary schools. Read more
