THREADS is a group mentorship program, where university undergraduates partner with urban middle school boys around the academic, social, and community issues that impact the mentees’ growth and development as young men. The program aims to cultivate an environment where the mentees and mentors can strategize around issues that affect their behavior, development, future goals, and identities inside school and out. By developing strong relationships with the boys, the undergraduate mentors learn about the strengths, interests, and skillsets that make each one of them unique and powerful.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Welcome to the THREADS experience! In THREADS we often chant \u201cIt\u2019s all We!\u201d which is an adaptation from an Ubuntu South African proverb saying \u201cI am because we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

This expression is meant to underscore the interconnectedness of our lives and our development. In today\u2019s western society where we tend to focus on talent and rugged individualism, this proverb \u201cI am because we are\u201d reminds us that no one becomes the great individual they were meant to be without the nurture and support of the people around them. This is precisely why mentorship and community are so important.<\/p>\n

In THREADS our undergraduate mentors are individually picked and rigorously trained to partner with the boys as allies (not saviors) in helping them to discover their gifts and who they were meant to be, but also supporting them in becoming the greatest version of themselves.<\/p>\n
