go handsome or go home

As the recipients of one of the top business educations in the world, it is important that we recognize the institutions and individuals that led us down our respective paths to arrive here. The majority of us have been fortunate in having every opportunity we desired to develop our academic and professional credentials to eventually gain admission to this school. However, in the city in which our school resides, and upon which it relies, there are hundreds of thousands of children that do not have the same opportunities we had, and it is the objective of Mustache May to help those kids.

The Boys’ Club of New York is a 133-year old not-for-profit institution that serves over 4,400 boys in the New York area each year. By providing after school programs and services to promote education, athletics, the arts, and character development, it is the goal of the Boys’ Club to combat the staggering on-time graduation rates in NYC, and to provide a pathway for members to develop into men. Within the Boys’ Club, the ISP program is a great example of some of the work being done. The program identifies and develops qualified young boys throughout their early academic careers by providing educational and extracurricular support and eventually assisting them in gaining entry into some of the top independent and boarding schools in the nation. Through this program the Boys’ Club has worked with over 1,600 young men to help them gain access to top-level education and have achieved a college placement rate of 100%.
