Mission. To bring awareness to, and education on, the need of systemic changes in the educational system and increased exposure to successful Black leaders, to result in the progression of excellence and equity for all Black students at the secondary and post secondary levels of education.

Vision. All Black students will graduate with a traditional high school diploma, be exceptionally prepared cognitively, emotionally and socially for transition to and through college or work in their desired industry while becoming a productive young citizen of society.

From personal experiences along with numerous years of graduate study including masters and doctorate education, our knowledge and ongoing research show that Black males’ early exodus from the educational setting plays a major factor in the Black community’s inability for true upward mobility in all facets of society. Therefore, we focus on addressing the problems of low retention, low graduation and low job satisfaction after college. The primary group that we work with is the Black male, starting with his junior year in high school and having no definite end.
