In today's modern society organizations like Project Hype is needed in this troubling world. Most young men don't have the opportunities to become successful in this world. Project Hype helps guide young men get into the right direction. Many of these kids come from single parent homes and the leaders at Project Hype feels that void and in some aspects become father figures or big brothers. Many of these kids just need direction and Project Hype keeps them from joining gangs, being placed behind bars and even death. I want to give a special thanks to Ray Ramos and Sam Wall for making a huge impact in these young men lives and helping improve society.
Project HYPE has been around since 2007 and has provided young men with a voice and a consistent environment where they can interact with men of color who have experienced many of the challenges that they will face in manhood. HYPE is a manhood and leadership development program and guides young African American males in grades 2-12 with real world issues through a series of workshops. The workshops discuss issues such as etiquette, inter-personal relationships, gang and prison awareness, building friendships, importance of higher education etc. The young men are also provided with tutoring to assist with academic issues, as well as cultural outings to provide them with a sense of
history. Project HYPE is unique because of its focus on the whole man experience.
Cognations to Project HYPE for being on Guide Star this is the best program for young men..
Project HYPE has been an inspiration to me because when my son was making all the wrong choices in life they were able to help him.. The respect the staff showed to the young men was amazing. The young men have given my son the courage to fight to be strong leader. By him helping these young men, I saw a change in his character and personality. He went back to school. I am so proud of him. Thank you Project HYPE!
With great integrity I honor Ray Ramos and Sam Wall for the exceptional work they do for and with children and youth in New York.
Their work has spanned over one decade and continues to serve young people in choosing the right paths to grow into capable and responsible adults. New York is a huge city. Giving the right guidance and social services to young folks at the most challenging times in their life is the key to success.
BRAVO!!!! Project HYPE
