E-News Terminal What is The Rock of Escape? The Rock of Escape takes boys and young men in crisis on a vision quest to change negative thoughts, behavior, and lifestyle. Members connect with like-minded youth while taking advantage of a creative set of opportunities. Caring adult mentors strive to model good character and help boys and young men build lasting support systems. - Warriors for Life Outcome Promotions What are the most pressing issues facing African-American high school males? The Rock of Escape has enlisted 14 New Schools at Carver School of Health Sciences and Research students to lead a special project in conjunction with the Morehouse School of Medicine (Atlanta Clinical and Translational Science Institute). The first goal is to increase awareness of issues creating negative life outcomes for African-American males ages 14 to 18 and promote creative ways to decrease the number of victims of these issues. The Warriors Youth Outreach Team will also identify the top 3 health issues affecting African-American high school males and then encourage their peers to decrease their own risk factors. The promotion empowers young men to take control of their life outcome today. We are looking for sponsors, media partners, and health related businesses and organizations to contribute to promotion.
