In School Mentoring
In-School Mentoring
Our in-school group mentoring, allows us to work directly with boys on a weekly basis throughout the academic year. By partnering with various school partners around the Dallas metropolitan area, school administrators help us identify boys who are at-risk of educational failure, dropping out of school, juvenile delinquency, or engaging in gangs. Additionally, The Esquire Club groups are open to all boys so we also have boys from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds making our group circles diverse and dynamic.
Our community mentoring approach is drawing high praise from school principals, administrators and teachers for its documented ability to improve the academic performance, attendance, and attitude as well as reduce disciplinary issues, expulsion, and dropout rates of their most at-risk boys. Most recently, we graduated the first High School Valedictorian.
We utilize multiple methods to evaluate our impact including surveys, GPA and behavioral data, attendance, and testimonials.
