What we teach
Every program builds the same thing from a different side: young people who know themselves, make good decisions and lead.
Skills & trades
We teach our youth valuable skills and trades that prepare them for success. Through hands-on training, mentorship and real-world experience they build confidence, discover their talents and work toward a more independent future.
Every Saturday, 10 AM–1 PM. See the schedule
The man in the mirror
Before you can lead others, you must first lead yourself.
The Man in the Mirror is about self-reflection, personal growth and taking responsibility for the person you see every day. It challenges young men to look within, recognise their strengths and weaknesses, and make positive changes. Through accountability, faith, discipline and leadership, we build stronger men, fathers, families and communities.
Program focus: self-awareness, self-identity, goal setting and positive leadership.
Coaching & teamwork
Coaching is more than blowing a whistle.
It is about shaping character, building confidence, teaching discipline and inspiring young people to reach their potential, on and off the field. Our youth also learn the power of working together: we lead by example, teach cooperation and show them how to support one another.
Life skills
The lessons behind every workshop, game and outing.
- Self-awareness
Understanding your thoughts, emotions, strengths and weaknesses, and accepting responsibility for your choices. The first step toward growth.
- Social capital
Building positive relationships, trust and connections that open doors to mentorship and opportunity.
- Compassion
Recognising when someone is struggling, offering support without judgment and treating everyone with respect.
- Decision making
Thinking critically, weighing options, considering consequences and trusting your own judgment.
- Conflict resolution
Handling disagreements peacefully, communicating clearly and respecting different perspectives, without violence.
Youth engagement
Mentorship, education and positive activities in a safe place to grow.
Our Youth Engagement & Enrichment Specialists inspire, guide and support young people as they develop leadership skills, build confidence, improve their decision-making and discover their talents. We also visit schools across DeKalb County to bring these lessons into the classroom.
