I. For High School Students

Breakout 1 High School: From Boy To Male To Man

Maturing into a successful man in today's society is very complex. How do we succeed and change for the better. We are receiving many different messages on what makes a person successful, respectful, and valued. We will share inside tips on how to achieve success, from bringing your "A" game (the right Attitude), to knowing how to "dress to impress, to working effectively with those who can grant or deny you "major opportunities." Come learn what they don't tell you in school!
