Bridging the Gap is a program designed for the academic success of middle school-aged African-American males, by motivating and enhancing their skills through the discipline of sports and arts, with the guidance of mentors.
Bridging the Gap focuses on two factors that build the linear relationships:
1. Personal and emotional factor programs improving their quality of life. Having a high quality of life was the strongest emotional perdictor of academic success among school-age black males. Findings suggest that their academic success is more dependent upon emotional well-being than their female counterparts.
2. Social and environmental factor programs will supplement school efforts. This will include programs in the areas of sports, arts, and technology, with resources to build and maintain school-based activities. We will also work to improve the dietary practices of our participants, which is associated with higher academic achievement.
