Project Canvas

Are you ready to showcase your leadership talent to the right colleges? Then apply to the Canvas Challenge, a 3-week virtual leadership development program for rising high school sophomores and juniors. Check out this testimonial from a parent of one of our program participants.

"Thanks for all you are doing to help my son, Aaron, as well as the other children, to be better leaders and develop their critical thinking and communication skills. Your class discussions have led to family table talk after class. That speaks volumes to the work you are doing because he begins his day at 6am at football camp, arrives home at 9:30am, attends your class (on limited fuel) until noon, rest for a few hours, and then begins his Dual Credit summer school class afterward. No matter what, he always seems to talk about what he learned/did in your class (even signing)!! I truly appreciate the impact you are making on these young Black kids!"
