BOSS (Business of Student Success)
Year-round and multi-year programming for boys of color and those from under-resourced communities and schools in Los Angeles and Orange counties designed to help them develop the character, discipline, habits and skills to pursue success with an emphasis on careers requiring a strong foundation in math, critical thinking, strong analytical, communication and problem-solving skills, and the ability to work collaboratively. We also leverage our 6 foundational pillars and timeless and universally applicable leadership imperatives to inspire our boys to do better in school, at home and in the community. BOSS starts with an annual summer camp and year-round programming that includes daily tutoring, academic coaching, live advice, positive role models, mentoring, career exposure and networking, real world experiences and opportunities for advocacy and service.
BOSS is transforming potential into measurable progress. Our scholars consistently achieve 63% higher math proficiency and 30% higher reading proficiency than their district peers, proving that when opportunity meets intentional mentorship, excellence follows. Over the past seven years, 99% of BOSS graduates have pursued post-secondary education or workforce training, with many entering fields in STEAM, business, and technology—sectors driving the future economy. Beyond academics, our young men develop the confidence, discipline, and financial literacy to become leaders in their homes, schools, and communities. Through our Train-the-Trainer model, alumni return as mentors and staff, creating a self-sustaining employment pipeline that reinvests talent where it’s needed most. The BOSS impact is generational: young men who once doubted their potential are now college scholars, entrepreneurs, and community builders—proof that strategic investment in BOSS not only changes individual lives but reshapes the economic and social fabric of entire communities.
