Program activities included:
Rites of Passage Ceremony
Our lives are made richer through ceremonies and rituals, especially those
that remind us of the power within each of us to achieve our dreams. Rites
of passage symbolize the transition from one life stage to another and encourage
each participant to discover meaning and vision within their own life. A Jr.
Beau places an African-inspired scarf around the neck of a Beaux, marking the
Beautillion Rites of Passage ceremony.
