Reimagining College Prep For Boys (Paperback)

Reimagining College Prep for Boys is a two-part guide: a Student Manual and Parent Companion, created to support boys ages 12-20 through the full college and career readiness journey. Designed for use in advisory, after-school programs, and mentoring groups, the guide focuses on mindset, organization, accountability, and future planning. It gives schools a ready-to-use tool that supports student achievement while strengthening family engagement. Too many young men are entering college unprepared, not because they lack intelligence, but because they lack guidance.

Reimagining College Prep for Boys provides a clear, structured roadmap to help young men develop the habits, mindset, and discipline needed for success in college and beyond. This book is more than advice, it's a practical guide designed to equip readers with real strategies that can be applied immediately.
