Empowering Males to Build

Both informal and empirical data suggests that the vast majority of African-American males continue to be in crisis and is not reaching its fullest potential educationally, socially and emotionally.

EMBODI is designed to address these issues through dialogue and recommendations for change and action.

EMBODI also addresses issues related to STEM education, culture, self-efficacy, leadership, physical and mental health, healthy lifestyles choices, character, ethics, relationships, college readiness, fiscal management, civic engagement and service learning.
