Key Points

DBGEM operates as a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization to provide life preparedness and mentoring for middle and high school boys, particularly those facing challenges in the Suburbs and Greater Metropolitan Atlanta area.

The primary focus of DBGEM is on boys aged 13 to 18, especially those at risk of falling behind in school or becoming involved in the juvenile justice system.

DBGEM serves communities in the Suburbs and Greater Metropolitan Atlanta area, reaching boys who lack focus, drive, motivation, and need support.

DBGEM aims to promote a commitment among boys and their families to develop intentional life preparedness habits, self-discipline, and a sense of purpose for their future. The program focuses on academic support, career exploration, and personal development.

We collaborate with local school districts, churches, homeowner associations, secondary colleges/universities, and the juvenile court systems to reach boys in need and provide comprehensive support.

This program will be designed to offer tailored programs for different age groups:

7th and 8th graders transitioning to high school,

High schoolers preparing for gainful employment, and

Those in need of extra support or guidance.

Trained, educated professionals and mentors conduct sessions, workshops, and outings to equip boys with essential life skills, career awareness, and job readiness.
DBGEM plans to sustain its operations through ongoing fundraising efforts, partnerships with businesses and educational institutions, and the support of the local community.
Our long-term vision is to empower young men who are prepared for life after high school, equipped with the skills, knowledge, and opportunities to pursue meaningful careers and contribute positively to society.
