EMPOWERMENT PROGRAM

The School-Based Empowerment Program is a psychoeducational empowerment experience for males in grades 4 through 8. It provides the opportunity for participants to spend quality educational time during the school day with men who serve as role models/mentors.

​

The program stresses the development of the motivation and skills necessary for academic success, the development of positive and responsible social behavior, building a sense of connectedness, and the modeling of positive male images.

This program seeks to reduce the number of students’ discipline infractions as well as improve students’ attendance, self-confidence, engagement in academics, and sense of connectedness.
