At 1pm SHARP, parents should pick up their boys.

(215) 380-0817 otherwise, just call your child.
I AM ENCOURAGING ALL PARENTS, ESPECIALLY FATHERS, OLDER BROTHERS, UNCLES, ETC TO STAY AND PARTICIPATE WITH US.
See you on Saturday.
With fewer positive male role models of color available in the places we once found them as kids (administrators, deacons, mailmen, local business owners, fathers, extended family & neighbors) who knew our names and took interest in our children, an initiative like this sounds like an invaluable opportunity. Mentorship from a grown man in your area can be very impactful to a young man's perception of possibilities for his life. I hope the community stands behind this vision and mothers push their boys to participate. A great idea is just a great idea until people support. Support can bring immeasurable change.
