About This Cause
The Suits for Sons Collegiate program is a 9 month curriculum designed to propel potential leaders into successful careers and service to the community. Our programs centers around five key components: 1. Mentoring (the example of success) 2. Education (the tools for success) 3. Scholarship (the means of success) 4. Etiquette (the culture of success) 5. Suits (the look of success) Participants are paired with a primary mentor within their career or interest and participate through 9 monthly guided learning modules: 1. Leadership 2. Community Responsibility 3. Values & Goal Setting 4. Diversity & Inclusion 5. Domestic & International Business Etiquette 6. Conflict Resolution 7. Personal Finance 8. Giving Effective Presentations 9. Networking, Resume Writing, & Interview Preparation Learning sessions include application exercise, a dress for success tip, an etiquette lesson and often feature guest speakers from various sectors of the local business community. In addition, participants will be responsible for completing 18 hours of personal community service and a group enrichment project to be presented to program mentors, community leaders and sponsors. Matriculating through undergraduate studies will not alone prepare young men for successful careers, nor develop their potential for leadership. To often we find that many young men do not have access to the information, mentors and experiences that level the playing field as they move into their careers of choice. Many enter the marketplace ignorant to the social norms, cultural standards and other subtleties that can be both career-limiting and opportunity-restrictive. We believe in the adage “It takes a village to raise a child.” Our leaders and partners are accomplished and cultured. They are excelling in their career aspirations and have a heart for helping suit young men do the same. We want to suit them with the tools articulate ideas skillfully during interviews. Successfully intermingle and interrelate during societal dinners and special events. Communicate and impart sound points of view with the influencers of their communities and the world, with grace and diplomacy. We want them to become the leaders of our society. Our programs are not designed to replace school programs, local church initiatives or the role of fathers, and other role models. We exist to link up with them and add support. Where role models, information and sponsorship is needed, we come alongside to help “the village” get our young men across the finish line and into the next leg of the race.
