HOW DO WE WORK?

Through facilitated activities, in a safe environment, that will enable the boys to have shared experiences, supportive conversations and peer mentoring. These efforts will aim to boost morale, character build and bolster a sense of self-acceptance. “The Boys' Room” will also foster a willingness amongst the boys to cooperate with one another so that they 'survive and prosper' within their own social construct, a dynamic we call 'Social Cohesion'. The goal is to enhance our boys socially, academically, and to set the foundation for critical thinking.
