  4. THE PROGRAM Life Skills Training is a program that helps develop young men during their time in college. When young men enter college, they forget about the elements of life that are important. They begin to get involved with their sport, friends and academic stress. They lose track of areas of their lives that will influence their future. The Life Skills Program reintroduces major concerns that they will face like Time Management, Communication and Finances. We have open conversations about major issues like Drugs & Alcohol Abuse, Relationships, and Domestic Violence. We show them the importance of Community Service and Professionalism. Overall, we help develop them into leaders of tomorrow and well-rounded individuals.
