GENTLEMEN

BY CHOICE

GBC launched in response to deficiencies in social and emotional skills among young boys faced with the adverse effects of poverty. GBC’s Youth Personal and Leadership Development Program teaches the habits, attitudes, and mindsets most associated with lifelong success. 

LADIES

BY CHOICE

Since its inception, GBC has expanded its services to support young ladies. Ladies by Choice adopts the same skills-based approach as GBC, emphasizing female empowerment and strategies to overcome the obstacles that disproportionately affect young girls.

ACADEMY

GBC is committed to exposing and connecting youth to as many pathways to success as possible.

 

Vocational Academy launched to help close the gaps in representation of people of color holding high-demand trade jobs.

SUMMER 

ENRICHMENT ACADEMY

 The Summer Enrichment Academy (SEA) launched in response to widening proficiency gaps among students of color and students who live in poverty.

 

The SEA successfully diminished the erosion of reading and math proficiency by 80% based on pre- and post-assessment results.

THE LEARNING 

CENTER

In response to COVID-19 district-wide school building closures, we expanded the Summer Enrichment Academy with the launch of a year-long Learning Center.

 

Youth urgently needed a safe environment to access school supplies, food, computers, WIFI, and hands-on academic coaching to supplement their virtual learning and reduce learning loss.
