OK, but that's like me saying I want to end world hungry. How? What do you want to do, or do differently, that another charity that does the same can't?

I personally don't know of a charity that focuses specifically on the retention or recruitment of Black males in Higher Education.
Some ideas include...
Provide scholarships to ease financial issues
-also a book fund so that no student is left without books for a class
College Tours which would include HBCUs and TWIs
Provide racial sensitivity training for high school counselors
-often times HS counselors will discourage Black men from attending college unless they have athletic abilities
Establish a mentoring program that begins freshman year of high school through college graduation
- this mentoring program would include workshops that discuss everything from health issues to writing admissions essays. And Black males would be paired up with professional Black men and other community members.
