PROJECT T.H.U.G.
Transforming Hope and Unifying Generations targets adolescent black males in their Junior year of high school, and senior year of middle school in the Miami Florida school district . Fellows who enter the program will participate in an 8-month intensive program – capped with a service program to graduate.
We seek to destroy the barriers created by the very tool deemed to be our savior “education.” School segments a people forcing us to believe only certain career goals, or personal aspirations are worth celebrating and others shouldn’t be discussed at all.
“The paradox of education is precisely this – that as one begins to become conscious one begins to examine the society in which he is being educated.”
