Making it their own!
Entering the fourth consecutive year of partnership with The Manhood Project in 2025, John J. Cairns and Community Day Continuation High Schools have fully integrated TMP strategies across both campuses (for all students)- adopting the curriculum as their Positive Behavior Intervention and Supports (PBIS) model now known as- The Knighthood Project.
“The Manhood Project perfectly aligns to the outcomes of Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS) including the focus on character building, decision making, positive life choices, and integrity.” -Amalia Lopez, Principal @John J. Cairns & Community Day Continuation High Schools, Lindsay, CA
“After two years of implementing The Manhood Project at Alternative Education, The Knighthood Project evolved from a desire to:
-Expand the implementation of the curriculum to support all learners
- Deepen the approach of teaching and practicing Lindsay Unified’s Lifelong Learning Skills in alignment with the Graduate Success curriculum
-Expand the connections and relevance of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) systems at the learning community and
-Effectively equip learners with the skills and competencies to engage their lives, support their peers, and confront challenges that stem from their personal and socioemotional contexts” -From The Knighthood Project Manual

The Manhood Project (TMP) is a social-emotional learning (or SEL) development program. Our mission is to maximize the positive qualities of under-served youth, while minimizing their temptations to engage in at-risk behaviors. Using our four-part intervention strategy (Exposure, Education, Engagement and Encouragement), TMP helps to build morally strong, capable and confident young men throughout multiple communities. We do this by focusing on the 5 core SEL Competencies- Self-Awareness, Self-Management, Responsible Decision Making, Social Awareness and Relationship Skills. Learn more about our program and how to get involved below.

The Manhood Project College Experience was a huge success! Thank you sponsors!

Each year, The Manhood Project partners with Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated at a college or university to give participants a life changing experience as a college student. On April 13th, TMP in partnership with Theta Gamma Chapter, took nearly 100 young men and volunteers to visit Eastern Michigan University in Ypsilanti Michigan. Students participated in a guided tour of the campus, engaged with current students and graduates, learn about multiple organizations, witnessed a mini Step Show and attended the football spring game. |
