For Real Men Only (I and II)

This country is facing a national crisis. According to national statistics, 1 in 9 minority men ages 20-34 are incarcerated; minority males contribute to most school disciplinary problems, and they represent less than 50% of the college population. While this information is daunting, there is hope. This interactive program is specifically designed to decrease the school dropout rate of minority males and improve the minority male achievement gap.

In this two part interactive program, your male students will learn:

• How to achieve a winning mindset
• How to increase standardized test scores
• How to study less and make better grades
• How to prepare for a successful career
• How to become influential peer leaders

Perfect for: High School Dropout Prevention Programs, TRIO Programs, Low Programming High Schools, At Risk Youth Prevention Programs, Minority Mentoring Programs, and  Professional Staff Development Training*
