The Black Rhinos Mentoring Program was established in 2009 to address the daily academic, social, and community challenges young men face.

Each participant is trained in leadership development, entrepreneurial skills and community service involvement. In addition, the program hosts an annual college tour that visits historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) and other educational institutions in the southeast.

Since the program’s inception the Black Rhinos Program has served over 1,000 young men and currently mentors 100 young men throughout Metro Atlanta grades 6 through 12.
