Concerned Black Men National's CBM CARES(R) Mentoring Initiative

A national program, CBM CARES® Mentoring Initiative has just come to Baltimore and will work with three Baltimore City schools! It's led by former Shriver Center Choice Program attendee, Imhotep O. Simba. As a former Choice youth, Imhotep was one of the panelists at the February 2015 symposium, "Supporting Academic Success of Youth in Juvenile Justice Settings," which was co-hosted by The Choice Program and the White House Initiative on Educational Excellence for African Americans.

Please see below for program requirements and details:

Mentors (male only) need to be at least 21 years old

The 3 school partners are in close proximity to UMBC: Beechfield Elementary/Middle School, North Bend Elementary/Middle School, and Rognel Heights Elementary School.

These schools are identifying students that would be a great fit for the program.

There are opportunities to engage in one-on-one mentoring AND group mentoring. There is flexibility to arrange the one-on-one meetings; all are engaged in the weekend outings.

In-school group sessions take place during the school day: Tuesdays at North Bend, Wednesdays at Beechfield, and Thursdays at Rognel Heights.

See the attached website for details and to submit an application.
