Information provided by numerous agencies indicates that the plight of the African-American male is determined almost from birth. Data also suggest that the vast majority of this group of young men continue to be in crisis and, consequentially, are not reaching their fullest potential educationally, socially, and emotionally. Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated, in recognizing a critical need to address the possible loss of potential greatness, designed a program to specifically address this need. “Empowering Males to Build Opportunities for Developing Independence” (EMBODI) program, has been specifically designed to address these issues by focusing on STEM education, culture, self-efficacy, leadership, physical and mental health, healthy lifestyle choices, character, ethics, relationships, college readiness, fiscal management, civic engagement and service learning.
On Saturday, April 9, 2022, Baton Rouge Sigma Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. will host a virtual “Boyz 2 Men Summit.” The summit will start at 11:00 A.M. and end at 12:30 P.M.
