Wanted: Male Mentors
We have 16 children on our waiting list, 14 of those children are boys. Research shows that today's boys outnumber girls in learning disorders, dropout rates, violence, stuttering, obesity, gambling and video game fixations, school suspensions, hyperactivity, low grades and general disengagement.
