The brief list strategies commonly used in interventions at postsecondary educational institutions across the nation, aimed at improving outcomes for male students of color and charts the way forward for future evaluative work. While young men of color have college and career aspirations similar to those of their white counterparts, a significant gap persists between the two groups’ postsecondary educational attainment. In response, colleges around the country have implemented targeted programs offering male students of color a variety of support services, yet few of these initiatives have been evaluated.

Project MALES is proud to be one of the 82 programs nationwide who continues to support young men of color achieve their personal, academic, and professional goals. Read the full brief here.
