The National Rite of Passage Institute

The Rite of Passage is an important element for our young men to experience and understand as they mark their passage to an elevated level of maturity and awareness. The National Rites of Passage Institute has developed a program that emulates traditional rituals in context with today’s society; encouraging knowledge of one’s self and one’s cultural ties, and establishing the individual as a purposeful ingredient of the community.

The Beautillion Program seeks to enhance academic knowledge and encourage the commitment to community of these young men. Organizations such as The Black Youth Leadership Project (BYLP) provide opportunities for high school students to learn about public policy decision-making up close; thereby insuring these future leaders will remain involved and interested in our system of government.
