Goals

Project Baldwin works toward these student-centered goals:

  • Build relationships and brotherhood bonds
  • Develop an educational and professional network
  • Encourage and nurture educational and career aspirations
  • Create a plan for achieving academic and career goals
  • Increase capacity to handle life’s challenges with trauma-informed practices
  • Increase self-confidence, mental health awareness, and leadership skills

These goals are drawn from best practices, lived experiences, and successful efforts—both locally and from across the country—and aimed to counter stigmas and assumptions on campus about men of color and what they can achieve.
