Project Transforming Hope

Project T.H.U.G. targets adolescent black males who range on the spectrum from the 7th grade to the 11th grade (8th and 11th graders strongly encouraged to apply). Fellows who enter the program will participate in an 8-month intensive program – capped with a service program to graduate. The program will promote both aspects in which they often do not intersect. Promoting both education and vocation through a rather holistic approach. The fellowship focuses on what it looks like to create a well-rounded young man of valor. The idea is to plant seeds early on in hopes that they will one-day blossom and bear fruit, which our community will be able to harvest. Ultimately, the investment is long-term – but one that will create a cycle of young men returning to cultivate their communities.
