300 Men of Standard

1st and 3rd Fridays

Building Hope in Greenville

6:00 - 8:00 PM

Meeting every Friday afternoon for physical training and movie nights, 300 MOS is a collaboration of two already successful youth development programs in two neighboring counties with two school systems to produce intense, measurable results aimed at increasing the graduation rate in the lives of young men.  This long-term, holistic approach to mind, soul, and body raises academic achievement, develops social skills, and produces physical disciplines to support 300 young men grades 6-12 in Pitt and Edgecombe Counties.  The ultimate goal is to create a cohort of 300 young men, targeted because of academic and social risk factors, who commit to a code of conduct much like a gang that includes academic, social, and physical standards.  Through producing this unit of social equity and high personal standards, the initiative will uniquely serve those youth most in danger of dropping out across a two county spectrum.
