Programs:

"The Barbershop Male Mentoring Initiative", (BMMI) is a male mentoring program that focuses on African American males from ages of 14 – 21 years of age. BMMI, was founded by Frederick Yeakey in 2010, while teaching at Arlington High School. Mr. Yeakey struggled with his black males with poor attendance, high suspension and poor engagement. After having a discussion with a few students, they came up with the idea of creating an afterschool club where they could get free haircuts while creating meaningful relationships with adult males. That year, over 12 students participated and all went on to graduate from High School. Since 2010, BBMI has been providing haircut, positive mentorship, tutoring, and much more throughout various places in Indianapolis.

"Empower Prep" - is a college, career, and character development program for 5-8th grade students that provides academic support, career cluster exploration, and character development. The purpose of Empower Prep is to prepare students for high school choices that align with their future goals.
