about
The purpose of the Grooming boys’ foundation is to educate and equip boys from the ages of 10 until 15 years old (adolescent) to be in a position to cope with peer pressure, trauma they suffered and to reach their full potential. The program runs over 8 months and consists of 46 modules as well as skills. The course is managed by a group of volunteer professional men & women who specialize in the fields that we touch on in the program. Group sessions include group therapy as well as personal counseling sessions.
