The B.R.O.S. 1st Academy

Building Respect of Self 101

Online Course


This is an online course loaded with start-up questions to open up and stretch the minds of our youth around the idea of how they see themselves and others. Through different interviews, videos, music, art, charts, tables and graphs we categorize information and activity to guide young black males towards positive growth and development. These areas covered include a Parent Survey, Vision Questionnaire, Guidance Roadmap and much more. The format of the course commands youth to dialogue with the people around them and use the information from the class to develop a filter in their minds to help process information. This teaching is made to support a healthy mental attitude about solving how to think and measure who/what is relevant to them and their future. The objective of this course is to identify three immediate short term goals and an action plan to ensure progress toward the child’s long term goals. In today’s world young black men in America don’t know help exists, and the B.R.O.S.1st (Building Respect of Self First) Academy is actively trying to change that thinking and provide that help and structure.



"No one wants to enter adulthood on their own, Man nor Woman; however sometimes life forces us too. The support of  Black Male Mentorship specifically is needed, and hard to find. " -Scott Hayslett, CEO
