You are born male. You must learn to be men.

Men of Vision is an 18 to 36-week program specifically designed to end the cycle of destructive behavior affecting adolescent males in the nation’s inner cities. Based on proven research from the Search Institute, Men of Vision focuses on the role of developmental assets in improving urban males’ ability to deal with adversity and increasing their chances of life success.

The curriculum develops 20 core assets associated with positive identity formation and resilience. Students follow five very different young men on their individual paths toward manhood. Some will succeed, others will fail. Along the way, students will witness the outcomes of positive and negative decision making. They will also gain valuable lessons in responsibility, conflict resolution, commitment and how to stay focused on the future.
