"SAGGIN TO SUITS LA," is an initiative designed to help young Black and Brown boys improve the conditions of their lives by-way of providing them materials that will build-up their self-esteem, self-confidence, and overall self-image. The program is for young men who are serious about their future and fully intend on putting in the work to become the absolute best they can be.
This program is for young Black and Brown boys ages 13-18, in school, who are committed to living a positive and purposeful life. The initiative starts in LA and will create chapters in the top 10 markets in the country. Other interested cities and organizations will be added after completion of the primary mandate. The project seeks sponsors who are interested in helping to inspire, motivate, empower, and actualize these determined young men. If you or your organization can provide internships, apprenticeships, job shadowing, computers, or clothing, please join us in this effort. For more information on how you can help, please contact CEO, Wes Hall @ [email protected] The sponsoring organization, "The National Young Men of Color Leadership Initiative Foundation," is a federally approved 501 C3 nonprofit organization. |
