Our goal is to encourage schools and other agencies to identify boys at risk of dropping out because of either failing grades and/or lack of positive role models in their lives.  We will be offering a safe environment with positive male role models.  Each child will have a mentor, counselor, and a tutor.  Tutors will make sure the students are at grade level  or above.  Mentors will be a confident, role model, friend and big brother.  Counselors will have group and private sessions to deal with emotional, family, and school anxiety issues. Staff will be available to meet with teachers, school staff and other authority involved in their lives.  Counselors will also seek to get the child's father, when possible, and/or family involved through educating caregivers on their importance, providing parenting classes and having family day fun activities.
