As we continue to grow and evolve, we understand the pressing need for our services to expand alongside the ever-increasing demand. Our capacity to serve our remarkable youth is primarily through schools, where we have made a significant impact.
However, I am delighted to share that we are diligently working towards a new chapter in our journey. In early 2024, we have plans to establish services at Gentlemen By Choice, located at 1016 W.

Your enduring interest and continued support are the pillars that drive our organization forward. Your belief in our mission is a testament to the positive change we aim to bring to the lives of our youth. Mentoring is not just a task for us; it is our profession, passion, and commitment.
As we work towards this exciting new endeavor, we will keep you updated on our progress and eagerly anticipate your involvement in shaping the future of Gentlemen By Choice.
