Young men (high school aged) will operate a silk screening business, this business will be used to keep teens off the streets as a violence prevention measure. Youth will leverage the existing donor base, corporate sponsors, and city government agencies to request a percentage of their t-shirt business.

The Men of Character group is a mentoring and character building program for at risk male high school students. It will incorporate a multitude of resources which include adult and peer mentoring and rigorous discussions regarding positive character traits that define successful young men. Our goal is to help guide young men to be successful in an academic setting and in life. In addition to the mentoring and character education component, students will have the opportunity to listen to guest speakers that truly exemplify the tenants of our program’s philosophy, “building a strong foundation for now and into the future.”
