Guy Squad - 2016 Amount Funded: $2,000.00
Guy Squad is a high school after-school program for boys. Our purpose is to encourage the development of strength, confidence, honesty and service by creating a close-knit community. Boys can discover and celebrate their true selves and authentic purpose. The unique aspect of Guy Squad lies in the weekly relationship that builds over a period of 4 years. Mentors encourage self-esteem in dialog and trust. Through collaborative problem solving and discussing behavior consequences, we model and create positive, healthy relationships. Many for the first time, learn healthy lifestyle choices, and enjoy guy time with positive men. Eyes of Hope believes this program benefits the whole community by providing our young men a place to explore new ideas, build positive relationships with adults and opportunities to serve. Guy Squad is a safe space for young adult men to grow.
