Honorable President we say that when you want to get things done you get a sigma to do it and so U our Sigma we are a men of action uh we are we are leaders and really uh hone in on the Brotherhood and the scholarship there so you know I
Think it’s a a natural calling and that’s one thing that Drew me to uh F Beta Sigma was the fact that not only my dad is an educator and a sigma but my the the mayor was a sigma uh the vice president of the ol is a sigma um my
Pediatrician was a sigma I mean they just held a lot of leadership positions in in the community there uh coaches were Sigma so we have always I’ve always seen men of Sigma uh helping with the youth uh volunteering being great dads it seems like that’s just our just just
In our DNA So currently um I serve as director of academic support for gwet County Public Schools and mostly I oversee our District’s Community Based mentoring program program uh which was started back in 2009 to serve uh African-American males uh then we kind of broad Bry stretch to serve
African-American females in 2017 and then in 2019 we expanded to serve Hispanic uh boys and girls and now we’re just serving all students when we relaunched in 2023 24 we serve all students so my role um how I support the local schools um I work with our local
School counselors and I work with schools to identif IFI staff U identified staff who may have students who could benefit from having a mentor whether it be boys whether it be girls uh we work with students in grades um 4 through 12 um so it’s almost like a
Balancing act so I have to go out we part of my my job responsibility is to uh not only recruit mentors but to provide the training uh the background checks um the resources that they need uh so that they can be ready to be matched with a student
