The Becoming A Man Fellowship Initiative (BAM-FI) program delivers a year-round (school year and summer) comprehensive counseling, mentoring, and postsecondary readiness programming to address male-identifying youth who have been exposed to trauma and face social, behavioral, cognitive, or emotional challenges in Washington, DC. In partnership with District of Columbia Public School (DCPS), the BAM-FI program guides high-school aged young men of color toward high school graduation and success in the postsecondary pathway of their choosing. The vision is for these young men to be driven to lead change in their communities and be positioned to achieve greater economic mobility. The BAM-FI program serves 9th to 12th graders at six DC high schools: Ballou High School (Ward 8), Dunbar High School (Ward 5), Eastern High School (Ward 7), H.D. Woodson High School (Ward 7), Ron Brown College Preparatory High School (Ward 7), and Roosevelt High School (Ward 4). Becoming A Man® program (BAM®) is a school-based group counseling program that guides young men in 7-12th grades to learn, internalize and practice social cognitive skills, make responsible decisions for their future and become positive members of their school and community. BAM integrates clinical theory and practice, men's rites of passage work, and a dynamic approach to youth engagement. The Fellowship Initiative (TFI) is a partnership between Youth Guidance and JPMorgan Chase designed to expand economic opportunities for young men of color. This initiative builds a diverse community that develops a pipeline of young men of color who excel academically, graduate high school, persist in college and are equipped to lead change in their communities. The program is designed to support fellows in expanding the skills, knowledge, experience, networks, and other resources they need to succeed academically and professionally.
