Leading Men Fellowship

"When entering into this role at The Literacy Lab I was always convicted about doing whatever is necessary to build strong men. We have built a brand here in Cincinnati that is committed to excellence and focused on creating the next generation of male educators of color -- this is not possible without incredible examples to follow." Carlton Collins - Cincinnati Leading Men Fellowship Program Manager
