The program aims to help African-American males succeed in college by providing leadership training, career counseling, mentoring and tutoring. Participants discover personal strengths, interests and motivation, all of which can spur an array of career interests and post-graduate options.
Those who want to register for classes at M2M Summer Fest are advised to do the following before arriving at the Fest:
- submit a current admission application for the Summer or Fall 2016 semester
- submit the official transcript from the last school attended
- submit official ACT scores, OR take the Accuplacer, OR submit a college transcript showing the completion of at least one Math and English course.
To become a member of M2M, students must be enrolled at JATC and complete an application for the program. The college’s Enrollment Services team will be on hand for the event to help prospective students apply to the college online.
