College educators and residents are leading a privately funded mentorship program for minority male students to engage with them and help them with personal and academic success while boosting self-confidence.
The free Detours Mentoring Team began in October 2022 and works with Black and Hispanic men across the county between the ages of 18 to 25 on life lessons, positivity and personal growth for those who may not have a present male figure in their lives, Vernon Neil Carroll, the team’s co-founder, said.
