This series is specifically developed to foster men to make positive life changes in their lives, while simultaneously evaluating their purpose and male role(s).
The objective of the series, is to teach participants basic skills to make changes, identify and establish reachable life goals and provide them with tangible opportunities to earn their GED at USM, an Associate’s degree and possibly pursue a Bachelors or Master’s degree offered by our academic partner, The University of the Virgin Islands (UVI) on USM’s campus.
