The challenges of young boys become the challenges of all of us
The concept of Building Men started in 2005 when as a middle school assistant principal Dennis recognized the struggles that the boys in his school were facing. The young men were experiencing disciplinary incidents, suspensions, truancy, failing grades, retention and classification into special education at an alarming level when compared to their female counterparts.
create a better tomorrow
Dennis used his background in adolescent development, sociology and mental health to develop the framework for a social group to address what it meant to be a man in society. Now, Dennis works with individuals, schools and organizations all over the country providing professional development, assembly programming, motivational speaking and life coaching.
