"The quickest way to change a culture, a pulse, and the climate of the school, is not what you do in the classroom, it’s what you do outside the classroom."
FRED YEAKEY, CEO THE BARBERSHOP MALE MENTORING INITIATIVE
WHERE ACTION MEETS IMPACT
Welcome to The Shop
In the buzz and snip of The Shop, a classroom emerges. It's a place where each haircut shapes more than just hair. Young students find guidance between the clips and combs, learning life's lessons in a chair. Here, education transcends books, fostering trust and wisdom in every conversation.
Turn inspiration into action.
Join the movement to educate, empower, and equip our youth and the communities that support them.
