Mentoring College Men to Lead the Next Generation of Young Scholars: The Blueprint for Developing Men of Character (in English)
Synopsis "Mentoring College Men to Lead the Next Generation of Young Scholars: The Blueprint for Developing Men of Character (in English)"
Ten years ago, six young men from Buena Vista University in Storm Lake, Iowa, began asking questions about modern manhood. Many boys grow up without positive male role models. Where will they turn for examples? To athletes, rappers, or pop stars? These men decided to be the examples they had always sought. With the help of author t. leon williams, who championed Buena Vista's multicultural center at the time, the six students formed a brotherhood known as the Men of Character. They spent hours discussing ideals of manhood: character development, academic achievement, and community engagement. The Founding Brothers were African American, but they embraced universal manhood based on character over color. As their discussions deepened, they took their mission into their community. Through mentoring, a national movement was born. Mentoring College Men to Lead the Next Generation of Young Scholars contains the Men of Character's mantra and curriculum. The discussion book is not only a practical application of the brotherhood's ideals for schools and church groups, it's also a great read for fathers, stepfathers, uncles, pastors, single mothers, and teachers who want to introduce their boys and young men to positive discussions on manhood.
