Project OneTen creates intentional spaces for Black and Brown boys during the critical transition to high school through mentorship and peer-to-peer community building. We aim to help them cultivate their strengths, innate brilliance, and unique identities as they build a foundation for success in high school and beyond.

At this month’s workshop, students began preparing their capstone posters.⁠

This is the first year we’ve incorporated a capstone into our program, and it’s already proving to be a powerful experience. The project gives students a chance to pause and reflect, on who they are, what they’ve learned, how they’ve grown, and where they’re going next.⁠

It’s where they begin to put words to their experiences, their goals, and the vision they’re building for themselves beyond freshman year.⁠

Seeing the shift from “I didn’t think I could” to “I know I can” is where that growth becomes real.⁠

We can’t wait to see them present next month at the Field Museum.
