About Us
The Black-Tie Guys male mentoring program provides leadership and mentoring to males ages 9-16 with the purpose of helping participants become productive members of society with a clear set of goals and objectives for their lives.
Participants in the program receive “big brother” type assistance, in goal setting, self-esteem, personal and financial management, discipline and educational excellence.
The present program has changed over the years to respond to various trends among youth. At its inception in 1976, it was called the “Save our Youth.” In the 1990s it was called the “Top Gun” Leadership Program tapping into the youth fascination with the movie “Top Gun” which focused on being the best of the best. Beginning in 2001, it was called “Time Travelers” because of its emphasis to travel and study.
The present “Black-Tie-Guys” program is the 21st Century rebranding of the same structured program that bean in 1976 with 21st century twists and emphasis on technology.
