The Best Men program provides a character building curriculum to boys during the school day which teaches them respect for others and the importance of positive choices on their futures. They learn that the decision not to have sex until marriage is the best one. They learn why drinking alcohol can be dangerous, how illegal drug use can lead to disaster, and how to build safer schools and neighborhoods by saying no to gangs and the violence they promote. Each component of the program is designed to equip students with the tools they need to recognize and reject risk behaviors while developing the qualities they need to become men worthy of respect.
