Comments
The Greatness Camp is sending African American males from our Greatness Camp Black Male Scholars (or GCBMS) pre-college summer programs at Ivy League Institutions. This one-two week on campus experience will provide equity and access to many of our underserved youth. We have been recognized and awarded $10,000 by BMe Community for our work. We plan to use the award to increase our partners and most importantly, increase the number of student participants. I believe that this course will enhance the opportunity to provide more outreach to schools/districts, students, parents and community stakeholders.
