#Boys2Men
The program is designed to assist young boys between the ages of 12-18 who come from a single parent home where the father is absent. Older men from the corporate community will teach the boys how to become men despite all of the adversities that they face. It's important that we strategically build relationships between the youth, staff, and the volunteers. The forum, small group sessions, as well as the individual sessions are designed to help the youth to look inside themselves to realize exactly who they are. Our young people have so much potential they don't even realize they have, we have to be their mirror so that they can realize that they are someone and that there is no limit to what they can achieve. After trust has been established, the program will continue to be a forum for discussion, however a leadership component will be added.
