Stories from Youth, Mothers & Mentors
Next Chapter Scholar
"Before Manhood 101, I didn't think college was in the cards for me. My mentor, Mr. David, helped me through every single college application, scholarship essay, and even opened my first Roth IRA. Now I'm in my second year at Morehouse studying computer science, and I mentor two boys in the 365 program."

The Mother's Circle
"Raising a 14-year-old son by myself after my husband passed away was terrifying. Joining The Mother’s Circle gave me a community of women who understood my tears, my fears, and helped me establish firm boundaries with love. Today my son respects my home and has a male mentor he truly looks up to."

"Most programs give you a tee-shirt and send you on your way. Next Chapter trains you, gives you structured curricula, and supports the boy’s family. Watching my mentee go from failing math to making the honor roll and speaking at the city council is the greatest reward of my career."
