Our vision is to equip boys with a sense of future and hope that will help them resist a multitude of at risk behaviors. We do that by conducting comprehensive after school academies that equip at risk boys with foundational character traits and life skills and apply them to being good students, citizens, teammate and employees while making successful progression into middle and high school.
We meet each day after school and on some weeknights with boys in grades 6-8 at Guilford School located minutes from Loyola. Each grade has a group of 14 boys with one teacher and our goal is to have 9 volunteers for each day, 3 for each grade.
Volunteers are needed on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday any time between 3 and 5 PM to be assistant teachers and help with tutoring, coaching and mentoring during sports, service projects, team building, building projects, and other lessons. We ask that volunteers commit to come that same day for a semester. Certain days have occasional expeditionary (interactive learning) field trips and volunteers are given the option to attend or not.
