The Boys’ Room is now expanding beyond NYC and we are excited about the opportunity to reach a broader audience of elementary school boys of color. We work very closely with DEI directors, educators and school counselors. Our young scholars come from a wide range of private schools and while schools do not participate in the selection of students or our programming, they are a great referral source and partner.

Through facilitated activities and in a safe environment, we 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.
