Program Format:
Each student will work with a group of dedicated Omega brothers who will help uplift him to be a better man. The group will meet monthly from 9:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M. Each monthly session is designed to the specific needs of the students and includes the essentials of why our participants must value education as well as sharing some of the outcomes/consequences of choosing the wrong path. The program will start in August 2018 to coincide with the 2018-19 academic school year. We will work with students who have exhibited academic/emotional deficiencies, or lack positive male connections. Ideally, we will work with students who want to better themselves, their environments, or those who just need positive role models.
