We Are Still In the ClassroomThrough a partnership with Green Dot Public Schools, the Institute ,created one the few elective courses in the country, comprised solely of young men of color. Our CEO, Wes Hall, co-teaches the class, using our specialized curriculum and study guide.
The class meets, every Tuesday through Thursday, at Locke High School, located in Watts, California. Participation is limited to 10th grade students, who are experiencing challenges in the areas of attendance, behavior, and academics. The curriculum is designed to impact ages 13-19. Students receive a credit toward graduation, upon successful completion of the course. Click here to review our workshop offerings |
Through direct interaction, observation, and data-collection, the Institute is able to keep our finger on the pulse of what drives behavior among young men of color. We are able to develop innovative approaches and multi-tiered practices designed to produce successful outcomes. We, then, pass those findings and practices onto our clients through workshops, retreats, online courses (soon to come), conferences, and symposiums.
