Overview

Mission

To give substance to a shared vision which fosters and develops model programs that build community by enhancing lives of our african-american youth.

What it reported doing in 2024

Mentoring: project excel is the organizations flagship mentoring program. This program focus-es on mentoring to middle and high school african-american males to help them de-velop essential life skills, to improve their academic performance, and citizenship. Mentees are required to enroll in this program and commit to remaining in it for at least one year. Parents are also required to ensure that their sons are present for at least 80% of program activities. Mentees who successfully participate in this program for at least three years and matriculate to a two- or four-year university become eligi-ble for a village legacy scholarship. Since its inception in 1994, hundreds of teenage males have participated in project excel and the organization has awarded over 104,000 in village legacy scholarships. This year 1,500 in village legacy schol-arships were awarded to three different participants. This program also includes activities outside of school, such as picnics, field trips to see cultural and sporting events, and travel to and participation in selected national 100 black men of america conferences.

  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict
