M.A.S.T.E.R (Males Achieving Success Through Education and Responsibility) is a mentoring program for boys ages 7-18. Mentoring Program (Realizing Our Strength and Excellence By Understanding Our Destined Success) was founded in 2001 while Author, Charlotte Marshall-Murray was working at Simon Gratz High School as a teen parent counselor. She found that our young girls needed a forum where they could speak openly about issues affecting them. Since then numerous girls have gone through the program and now are successful in their chosen fields. ROSEBUDS discuss issues such as health and nutrition, bullying, healthy relationships, college awareness, goal planning, budgeting, self-esteem awareness and an array of other topics. These topics are discussed in workshop form or through role playing. In conjunction to workshops we are also involved with community service projects. This teaches our girls the importance of giving back.
