Education
Project SOAR (Student Opportunities, Access and Readiness) is a program where volunteer mentors from the 100 Black Men of Madison organization give their time to help middle and high school aged African American male students navigate through school and through life by helping them gain a positive self-perception, develop skills to influence others, build a support network and identify SMART career goals. This mentoring program has been ongoing in our school district for three years in four middle schools. In this episode, hear from mentors Manny Scarbrough and James Morgan about their work at Whitehorse Middle School. *** Credits: Intro/Outro music by MicroSchool students Cheviest and Montevious. *** To request a written transcript of this episode, please email mmsdnews@madison.k12.wi.us.
