Two local youth-development organizations, Boys To Men Leadership Group Kentucky, Inc. and For a Real Change, Inc. are empowering and equipping the next generation of Bowling Green youth to build self-confidence and become leaders in their schools and in our community. Now, our two organizations have partnered to create an ambitious project providing holistic, life-changing support to boys and young men while aiming to honor the legacy of the vibrant Black community of Jonesville.
Mission and Vision
Equipped with the tools to succeed in school.
The Jonesville Academy program and curriculum are designed for Black/African-American, Hispanic/Latino, and multi-racial young men in grades 3-8 in Bowling Green and Warren County. Jonesville Academy Scholars are young men who themselves would like to accept the opportunity to extend their learning beyond their elementary, middle school, or junior high school to work toward a pathway to success that includes interactive learning from teachers of color, mentorship, networking, and community engagement with peers.
The mission of the Jonesville Academy is to equip underrepresented minority males with the tools necessary to succeed in school.
Our vision is to close the educational gap while developing leadership, social skills and confidence amongst underrepresented minority males.
