for 3rd through 9th Grade boys & Young men

---

We meet once a week for 60 minutes via Zoom. Each session celebrates Black people, culture, and contributions while using powerful stories as the training ground.

In small groups, boys sharpen reading comprehension and learn to think beyond the page. Through guided discussions, they practice focus, resilience, and leadership. Every session equips them with tools to read with confidence, speak with clarity, and apply lessons from books to real life.

Stronger Comprehension & Focus:
Your son will build comprehension skills while developing the focus to stay sharp under pressure—a skill that carries into school, sports, and life.

Resilience & Confidence:
Stories of struggle and triumph become mental reps for bouncing back from setbacks. Boys gain the confidence to face challenges and the courage to use their voice.

Sharper Thinking & Better Decisions:
Discussions push boys to connect reading with real-world lessons, teaching them how to think critically and make sound decisions.

Leadership & Brotherhood:
In a safe peer environment, boys practice listening, leading, and respecting others. They learn to carry themselves as leaders—young men others want to follow.

Lifelong Reading Habits:
Boys sustain a genuine love for reading and continue building strong comprehension skills beyond the program.

Growth That Builds Confidence:
Parents see their sons not just reading more, but also stepping into life with more confidence, resilience, and self-discipline.

Stronger Parent–Son Connection:
Families find new ways to connect through shared discussions about books, leadership, and life lessons—conversations that strengthen bonds at home.

A Culture of Leadership in the Home:
Rising Sons doesn’t just raise strong readers—it helps raise strong young men who inspire growth in their families and communities.
