OUR CORE VALUES

EXPERIENCE

Our mentees receive a unique and comprehensive curriculum designed to engage every aspect of the young man’s life within and beyond the education system.

​

JOY

Our curriculum includes unconventional activities that allow the young men to explore and satisfy their curiosity under the umbrella of safe-keeping. Such activities cultivate self-directed learning, modeling, and relationship development.

 

PRIDE

Our program facilitates discovery of talents, raising self-esteem by giving our youth a sense of their own power, unconsciously exercising cognitive development, and fostering a deep sense of pride in their abilities.

​

LABOR

Our strategy places significant emphasis on instilling a strong work ethic in young men through role modeling. Through shared labor experiences, natural bonding occurs, fostering essential relationship building among men.
