L.I.O.N.S. Pride is a new program that gives the fathers, grandfathers, uncles, big brothers of the students an opportunity to be present on their child's school campus. Even if you do not have a child that attends that school, as long as you are a qualified adult male, you are encouraged to volunteer. The importance of having men present in our schools (even as a volunteer) is invaluable and beneficial to our future (the students).  

L.I.O.N.S. Pride stands for Leaders In Our Neighborhood Schools.  It is a platform that gives each qualified adult male who desires to be actively involved an opportunity to get involved in a deliberate, methodical and effective way. Whether it is for one day during the school year or every day of the school year, there is an opportunity for you to volunteer.

Weekly group mentoring sessions are available. Each group of Young Kings & Young Queens will meet up. The young men and young women will be challenged, pulled and stretched to a level that they may not have experienced otherwise. 

Such an experience will help empower and equip your Young King/Young Queen to tap into the essence of who they are and to reign confidently. Sign up your child today.

One-on-one mentoring sessions will occur weekly with a 3-month commitment. Of course, with a one-on-one session, this affords the young man/young woman to experience a more customized and in-depth mentorship.

There's much to be gained when giving back, so The SOM along with the Young Kings & Young Queens affiliated with The SOM are regularly involved with community projects.

Once a month, we are giving back to our community by undergoing community service projects. Our projects vary: 

• food drives for underserved families/individuals
• community events (i.e. community Plays, etc.)
• care packages for Military Servicemembers
• adopting families for the holidays
  
• writing letters to inmates
• neighborhood cleanup
• elderly home visits
• animal shelters
  
• many others
