The Alpha Mentoring Program/The Village went to Maryville University to do a college tour and learn about the various facilities and programs that the university has to offer. Afterward, three members of Maryville’s Black Male Initiative program spoke to the young men about why they chose to attend this university and their experiences on campus as Black men. They also advised our boys on how they should prepare for life after high school and going into the postsecondary world.
After the program, we took our young men to McCluer High School where they were able to engage in various athletic opportunities in the school gym.
