Our Mission
This project aims to increase boys' academic achievement, by starting when boys are young. The project's goals are to mobilize and support partnerships among: Families, Public Schools, Head Start, Community Members and Agencies, and Volunteers.
Overview
PAS (Promoting Academic Success) of Boys of Color is an initiative funded by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to implement and evaluate ways to improve the academic achievement of boys ages 3 to 8.
While every racial, ethnic, and cultural group produces boys who excel academically, PAS focuses on groups of boys that are underperforming.
Selected schools in four cities (Chicago, IL,; Lansing, MI; Peoria, IL; and Polk County, FL) are developing broad-based community partnerships with researchers at the FPG Child Development Institute to identify resources and evaluate PAS' effectiveness.
