Over the years Project MALES has been recognized by The University of Texas at Austin, local, state and national organizations. Our mentoring model highlights mentoring as a way to leverage social capital at various points in the educational pipeline to ultimately build a strong college-going culture among students. We are very appreciative of the recognition we have received and want to give thanks to the UT Austin community and our supporters.
