PROJECT
IDENTITY is
a federally funded program designed to stimulate interest
in college attendance and the awareness of college
entrance requirements for African-American and other
minority males attending middle school. The Project
aims to help to develop and sustain the capacity of
middle schools to prepare these young boys for high
school and post-secondary education. By providing
a network of support, particularly for the adults
who influence middle school students, specifically,
their counselors and families, Project Identity strives
to channel and direct more minority males to higher
education. Project Identity will give special attention
to boys from backgrounds and communities that historically
have not encouraged large numbers to pursue, enroll and succeed in
post-secondary education.
OUR VISION
The vision of Project Identity is to expose middle school male students to the best academic resources and cultural activities so that learning becomes a source of inspiration to not only pursue the college option but to do so with enthusiasm and vigor. By assisting both parents and school counselors, Project Identity will create a learning environment for participants that extends beyond the classroom.
