We deliver our programming via a cohort-based format. Each cohort runs for 3 years and each year has a specific theme as follows:
Year 1: Focuses on Life Skills Building in which we help our Champions develop the social and professional skills they will need to be successful young men.
Year 2: Focuses on preparing our Champions academically and getting them into the best colleges.
Year 3: Focuses on leadership development and preparing our Champions to become junior mentors within the TEM program to newer cohorts that begin the program.
The 3-year cohort-based structure serves to build trust among the Champions and mentors which improves the effectiveness of the mentoring relationships and it creates substantive friendships among the Champions that can last a lifetime.
