Empowering young men with knowledge, confidence, and purpose to change the world.

About the Program

The Young Men’s Law Project is a 10-week intensive Saturday program in partnership with the Ronald H. Brown Center at St. John’s School of Law. Students will engage in legal education, leadership development, debate, public speaking, and mentorship from legal professionals.

Debate and public speaking training
Guest speakers: attorneys, judges, law students & more
Leadership development and professional skills
